The problem is not the indexterm element, it's the space that might
exist outside it. Are we using block level elements like <para> inside
entry elements anywhere else? If not, then your observation is not
relevant. If there are no block level elements then AIUI we can space
things out how we like inside the entry element.
If you can show me how else legally to get a line break inside an entry
element I'm very interested. I tried several things before I found this
way of making it work.
