Yes, I think it comes from indexterms I put into glossentries:

<glossentry id="Absorptie">
        <glossterm>Absorptie</glossterm>
        <indexterm zone="A"><primary>Absorptie</primary></indexterm>
        <glossdef>
                <para></para>
                <glossseealso otherterm="Emissie"></glossseealso>
                <glossseealso otherterm="Spectrum"></glossseealso>
        </glossdef>
</glossentry>

Where in the file that contains the main text, which is different from the
file that has the glossary, I specified:

<part label="A" id="A">

(I want the main text file indexed, for the terms that are in the
glossary)


Apparently in the .fo file it translates to:

<fo:list-block provisional-distance-between-starts="2in"
provisional-label-separation="0.25in" space-before.optimum="1em"
space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.maximum="1.2em"><fo:list-item
space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.minimum="0.8em"
space-before.maximum="1.2em" id="Absorptie"><fo:list-item-label
end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block>Absorptie<fo:wrapper
id="id2906626"><!--Absorptie--></fo:wrapper></fo:block></fo:list-item-label><fo:list-item-body
start-indent="body-start()"><fo:block space-before.optimum="1em"
space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.maximum="1.2em"/><fo:block>Zie
ook Emissie, Spectrum.</fo:block></fo:list-item-body></fo:list-item>

I think the index entry in the .fo file is:

<fo:block><fo:block>Absorptie, <fo:basic-link
xmlns:rx="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions";
xmlns:axf="http://www.antennahouse.com/names/XSL/Extensions";
internal-destination="A"><fo:page-number-citation
ref-id="A"/></fo:basic-link></fo:block>
