Yes, mostly  we do want to have "The Glossary" rather than have word
"ASCII" defined in the glossary of each and every app. But it may still
make sense for some docs to have their own glossaries - for highly
specialized words that are unlikely to be used outside of this app, or
for words that in the context of this app have different meaning than
elsewhere? I do not know...


BTW: we still have not decided on any way to let the reader look up
the definition of a word in the glossary other than explicit <ulink>,
which is cumbersome (can you imagine a doc in which every instance of
the word "attachment" is a ulink?), or switching to the glossary and
manually looking up word there.   I remember there was some talk
about having command "look it up in the glossary" in a right-click
menu, or something like this - maybe we should resurrect this
discussion?  Or a special search box? Could we do it in time for 2.0?
