In my writing practise there are many cases where attaching index entry
to block structure doesn't work. Imagine situation where some container
block like chapter or section contains many paragraphs. But only 3 or 4
consequent paragraphs of them describe some topic which should go into
index. Using start/end-range is only solution here.

I see index as as something which can go far beyond strictly
hierarchical nature of XML.
