This can be used for definitions which can then be referenced in the manuscript.

(Hi, only comments to check if I am in the right direction)

At this moment <glossary> element is not at the "Simple JATS" of docs/TextureArticle. Yes, is an useful element in my opinion... But let's check in deep:

  1. There are no simpler alternative as <p> staring with terms in bold, because lack of glossary-semantic.
    The <list list-type="simple"> is simpler but the adaptations may be complex...

  2. There are similar-semantic element, <def-list> that can generate some confusion... Perhaps this discussion is about both, glossary and def-list.

  3. Is useful and a "in use" documental structure:

    • Generic glossaries are in use in nowadays, the analog tag in HTML was porpused in ~1995 as <dl> element... And was preserved as it, in HTML3, HTML4 and HTML5.

    • Scientific literature use it in nowdays. (need sources to assertion?)

    • ...? ... Substance JATS corpus statiscs (exist?) show some significative frequence of use of glossary or def-list tags?

    • ...? ... Substance Manuscript corpus statiscs (exist?) show some significative "intention of use"? Perhaps the HTML Manuscripts have some occurences of dl.
