Yes the current terms look a bit out of place in the Handbook. There are mostly developer terms and acronyms from our community mailing lists at the moment. It's nice to have them somewhere, but they aren't relevant with the Handbook. It would be great if we could continue maintaining a master glossary like we do now, but add stylesheet support to only pull in those terms that are actually used in a given document. All the tools are there, someone just needs to write the code. A supplemental perl script might be used in addition to the DSSSL code to implement this. Any takers? =) - Murray
