This is true with one tiny caveat: if indexterm ever has mixed content, 
particularly more than one text node. I don't think you want any indexterms with 
more than a single text node to appear as many times as they have text nodes, 
each time with that fragment of text. (This can sometimes happen if comments or 
processing instructions, not only inline elements, happen to intervene.)

<indexterm>Global <!-- was "World" -->Health</indexterm>

There are two text nodes there, with the values "Global " and "Health".

That's another reason why group-by="(@term.entry,.)[1]" is probably better.

Cheers,
Wendell
