no support for <sup> and <sub> in some glossary elements?

["Amber Swope" <amberswope@gmail.com>]

I need to indicate a chemical or equation “formula” for a glossary term and the glossary elements that seem to be the most appropriate for this usage do not support the <sup> and <sub> elements:  <glossAbbreviation>, <glossAcronym>, <glossShortForm>, and <glossSynonym>.  For example, for the term “water”, the chemical expression is H₂O; my first choice for capturing the expression is <glossShortForm>, but it doesn’t support <sub>. Another example is the term “terminal velocity” with the equation symbol of V_t.

 

Is there a specific reason for this limitation? Any suggestions for a workaround other than appropriating <glossProperty>? In these cases, <glossUsage> is already taken.

 

Thanks, A
