I think I have realised what the problem is.  My index (actually two of 
my three indexes) are located mid-way through my document, not at the 
end.  After AEN (all-element-numbers) are generated to identify the 
location of index terms for the indexes, the indexes are updated.  But 
this of course throws the just-generated AENs out!  This is a bit of a 
catch-22 problem, but I will keep working at it.

I think it should be possible to modify the file "pdf2index" which is 
distributed with the XSL stylesheets, to work with DSSSL.  Instead of 
extracting the page numbers from the PDF file though, they would be 
extracted from the aux file created by the second run of pdfjadetex. 
The script would then modify the index file to include hard references 
to these page numbers (formatted to collapse duplicates and ranges), and 
would then create the PDF output again.
