Subject: Re: [office] Glossary for 1.2

be collected. Glossary or 'definitions' fits that bill.

Or the definitions section refers to the actual definition
Or the section refers to the definitions.

The latter is clearer.

Due to the length of the document I disagree.
Searching for a term is horrible and wastes time in the current standard.
