Index elements

<glossterm> and the <p> inside <glossdef> have an id attribute.

Sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE glossentry PUBLIC "-//IXIA//DTD IXIA DITA Composite//EN" "IxiaDitabase.dtd">
<glossentry id="mks1584480498040" xml:lang="en-us">
    <glossterm ixia_locid="1">Perennial</glossterm>
    <glossdef ixia_locid="2">
	<p ixia_locid="3" id="perennial-def">A <term ixia_locid="4">perennial plant</term> or <term ixia_locid="5">perennial</term> is a plant that lives for more than two years. When used by gardeners or horticulturists, this term applies specifically to perennial herbaceous plants. Scientifically, woody plants like shrubs and trees are also perennial in their habit.</p>
    </glossdef>
</glossentry>

If <glossdef> had an id attribute, it is included in an index. But this configuration change alone ignores elements like <p>.
