I hope I have now, in the latest draft.  If there
are any I have missed, please let me know.

Yes, thanks, wording is now changed.

Nowhere, apparently, and that surprises
me.  I expected the description of bookmap's <glossarylist>
to talk about sorting, but on inspection, I see that it doesn't.  Is
there a consensus that it should?

(There is a bit of chicken-and-egg with
proposals like this, where one proposal is intended to provide an implementation
for other proposals.  One of them has to come first, and it looks
like I was assuming that #12035 was providing for existing specifications.
 It appears to be the other way around.  Hmm.)
