This has more to do with the semantics of an index; that is, why one provides 
an indexed term in the first place.

What the index user is looking for is some content about `foo'.  The 
assumption is that the section will provide that content.  One doesn't want to 
index every occurrence of `foo', just the ones that provide content.

Ahhhhh....the black art of indexing.  Indexers have to UNDERSTAND the context 
of what they're indexing.
