Admittedly, it's a near thing, but biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml is more
concise and expresses the *intention* of the indexes -- the XSL we're just
stuck with since that's what Zebra needs.  Of course, since it's XML, it's
not all that more concise, but at least it admits of the possibility of
creating a base index definition language in JSON or YAML that would
actually be concise.

My practice has always been to update the XML, then generate the XSL.
 YMMV, but arguably {authority,biblio}-zebra-indexdefs.xsl should be kept
out of the source tree and just generated when needed.

Regards,

Galen
