I was looking at how to solve this in the source code -- which raised the
following questions.

1.  Perhaps "Index Heading" (as a Parent) should remain at "Text Body"
(comparable to Heading).  Alternatively, maybe Index Heading should be changed
to Level 1 (on the assumption that users would interpret this label as Level
1)?

2. Independent of the answer to the first question, presumably all the children
to "Index Heading" (e.g, "Bibliography Heading", "Figure Index Heading") should
also be level 1?

Given that they are all 16pt. bold, as a user, I would assume that they appear
at the same level, and could either choose "Index Heading" and/or one more of
the children -- expecting them to show up at the same level in a Table of
Contents.

3.  And just to anticipate or avoid a problem.  Is it possible (yes), likely
(don't know) that "heading" styles would be used in the text after Index
Heading.  In that case, "Heading 1" would be at the same level as "Index
Heading" which would probably not be intended (from a user perspective). 

A user, with proper knowledge, could easily fix this -- but the original
problem that lead to this opening this ticket arose because of this "lack of
knowledge".

I do not see any obvious way around this situation.
