Shame - though re-visiting the Semantics types I've just spotted "List of Illustrations" which I had missed before - I'll go and play with that. At least I'll be back with one ToC...

What is the right/official thing to do here? Should all front matter be excluded by an index generator or not?

I'm sorely tempted to say "exclude all front matter" however I'm sure that someone will disagree and I have no wish to start a flame war so...
As the Semantics can be set for each file by right clicking on the filename and selecting "Add Semantics" How about controlling the index tool access by Semantic type.
A new panel could be created in "Preferences" showing a list of the available semantic types and allowing a tick box for each one to say "Include files of this type in the Index" - maximum flexibility achieved with (fingers crossed!) not too much effort and everybody happy? (he said - running for cover!)
Just out of interest where does the semantic list come from - I couldn't spot it in the epub2 standard?
