Hi Karsten and others, 

Sorry for not responding more promptly but I'm be hehind a usa
fire wall and have to fall back on webmail. 

Over a year ago I looked into xindy and even discussed (at
eurotex in france) it with the authors. The thing missing is
attributes, and since context supports multiple indexes,
interactive ones, global but also local, I need to be able to
select on for instance a per section basis. This is why the
current xindy is not yet an option. At the xinsy list there was
a remark of the author that he lacked time and was in search of
someone who could take over, which makes it tricky to look into
it now. Some day I will pick up the thread. [support should not
be that complicated]

Hans
