problem with packaging of glossaries

This came up in the spec authoring meeting today. 

 

The problem: <glossentry> is specialized from 
<concept>. <task>, <concept>, and <reference> are in the 
TechDocs package. This forces <glossentry> etc. to be restricted to the TD 
package.  But non-TechDocs folks need glossaries, and support for them 
should be in the base.

 

Two solutions:

  
Accept this. Present it as an unfortunate fait 
  accompli for 1.2 -- if you want a glossary, you have to use the TD package (or 
  specialize your own).

  
Move <task>, <concept>, and 
  <reference> back into the base, sans TD-specific domain specializations, 
  and include those specializations in the TD package. Present this as an 
  interim step toward simplified topics being developed by the BusDocs 
  SC.

Comment? Action?
