I am glad my suggestion helped.

You could improve the readability a bit, by changing your code to following:

<topic-title>
  <xsl:for-each select=".//text()[not(ancestor::indexterm)]">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</topic-title>

xsl:element is usually used, when the element name is constructed
dynamically (sometimes based on some calculation).
