I don't know of any reference that applies to all nations but,
conceptually I don't see how scattered references to XML on pages 45,
46, 47, 48 could be represented as "XML 45pp" given the absence of an
end point for the references.
I don't doubt that other indexing systems exist for denoting ranges that
contain references for an index entry. I would be interested in learning
of any widely used system that denotes a range of references with only
the starting point of the range.
Hope you are having a great day!
