Text for glossterm

[Nigel hardy <nwh@aber.ac.uk>]

I am using Docbook 4.3 and docbook-xsl-1.69.1 (sorry - an established 
system. I'll catch up some when)

When I reference a glossentry, I can find no way to make the inline 
glossterm use the text inside the glossentry/glossterm. The behaviour of 
xref is what I feel I want: but clearly the semantics I want are those 
of the inline glossterm. What I want to do is reference a glossentry 
without the effort (and opportunity for accidental confusion) of copying 
the glossentry/glossterm text into the inline glossterm.

Am I missing something or asking the wrong question?

The code is below. The output (HTML) is
======================================


    1. Use

If I use xref I get "Item 
<http://localhost:8888/docs/My%20Documents/Research/meta-phor/rep/docs/design/glossary/t.html#one>".

If I use glossterm I get "// 
<http://localhost:8888/docs/My%20Documents/Research/meta-phor/rep/docs/design/glossary/t.html#one>"

Use of xreflabel with xref gives "Another 
<http://localhost:8888/docs/My%20Documents/Research/meta-phor/rep/docs/design/glossary/t.html#two>"

Use of xreflabel with glossterm gives "// 
<http://localhost:8888/docs/My%20Documents/Research/meta-phor/rep/docs/design/glossary/t.html#two>"
