Subject: Re: [docbook] An <appendix> that contains only a <glossary> is not valid (db5_rc7)
Hi, If you would like to have this issue considered by the DocBook Technical Commitee, the way to do that is to file an RFE on the DocBook SourceForge site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/ You need to be logged into your account there, then select Tracker -> RFEs -> Submit New Getting an account on SourceForge is trivial if you don't already have one.
