Re: [docbook-apps] Collecting glossentries in glossary database

[Georges Schmitz <georges.schmitz@heitec.de>]

Using text content of glossterms, one drawback comes into my mind: the 
existing mechansim cannot deal with 2 acronyms spelled in the same way, 
but meaning different things. This may exactly happen in the aviation 
licensing domain; you have international and national acronyms that 
intersect.

If I split national and international glossterms in different glossdivs, 
I cannot even be sure, that linking gets me to the right page.

Just a thought...
