Hi, Esteemed Technical Committee:
Through miscoordination on my part, the glossary enhancement proposal was missing a small but important change (the first two items below). I thought it better to make the change now rather than introduce it at the next meeting. While making the change, I also picked up the other errata items below. The changes to the glossary proposal:
- Made <glossPartOfSpeech> mandatory in <glossBody> for the reasons given in the purpose column of the <glossBody> entry.
- Added <glossPartOfSpeech> to the second, simplified example (because mandatory).
- Added a clarification of validation of extensible enumerations in processing if the controlled values proposal is not approved.
- Renamed "preferred term" to "main term" throughout because the term as a whole can be assigned a status of restricted.
- Added one use case for terminology databases.
- Corrected the base of <glossterm> to be <concept>.
- A couple of improvements in wording.
Here is the updated proposal to enhance the Glossary specialization:

Many thanks to Kara Warburton for catching that issue.
I also fixed one errata in the map conveniences proposal, which indicated the default value of the type attribute on the <topicsetref> element to be "navigation" instead of "topicset" (the actual target of topicsetref).
Here is the updated proposal to add convenience elements for composing maps that set attribute defaults:

Apologies for the churn,
