I did try  <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()">, thinking it would
just go through and apply the existing indexterm, primary, secondary templates
-- but I got the entire group in a chunk, it didn't seem to apply templates to
each element  individually.  I'll go back and look, maybe I did something
wrong there.  I wasn't using mode, maybe that was the problem.

<xsl:for-each select="current-group()"> makes sense, will give that a try.

Last question: if I want to do something at the end of each group, I'd put
that instruction right before the </xsl:for-each-group>, correct?

If you want to map each item in a group to an HTML "a" element then use

   <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
     <a href="{@id}">
       <!-- not sure what you want to output for the link -->
       <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
     </a>
   </xsl:for-each>

or use

   <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()" mode="link"/>

and write a template

   <xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="link">
     <a href="{@id}">
       <!-- not sure what you want to output for the link -->
       <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
     </a>
    </xsl:template>
