You say you want to build an index, but you don't say what should go in the
index.

Extracting the terms is easy enough, but what other information do you want in
the index?

Is there a requirement here to group multiple occurrences of the same term? If
so, you want to do grouping rather than just sorting (which means your life
would be much easier with XSLT 2.0).
