Errata or DITA 2.0: Add <sup> and <sub> to glossary elements

I've found an issue with the content models for a few of the glossary elements.

 

I need to be able to use superscript and subscript in several elements: glossSurfaceForm, glossAcronym, glossSynonym, glossShortForm, glossAbbreviation

 

As an example of what I need:

<glossentry id="gl_DesignManeuveringSpeed">

    <glossterm>design maneuvering speed</glossterm>

    <glossBody>

        <glossPartOfSpeech value="noun"/>

        <glossSurfaceForm>design maneuvering speed (V<sub>A</sub>)</glossSurfaceForm>

        <glossUsage>Spell out on first use. Use V<sub>A</sub> in subsequent references. <dl>

                <dlentry>

                    <dt>Examples</dt>

                    <dd>The pilot's operating handbook is the best source for determining your

                        aircraft's design maneuvering speed (V<sub>A</sub>). The cockpit placard

                        might also include V<sub>A</sub> information.</dd>

                </dlentry>

            </dl><p>See also <xref href="" <xref

                    href="" speeds</xref>.</p></glossUsage>

        <glossAlt id="alt_gl_DesignManeuveringSpeed">

            <glossAcronym>V<sub>A</sub></glossAcronym>

        </glossAlt>

    </glossBody>

</glossentry>

With the current content models, I cannot use <sup> or <sub> on the glossSurfaceForm, glossAcronym, glossSynonym, glossShortForm, glossAbbreviation

 

Thanks and best regards,
