I can think of no reason not to include glossary group in ditabase. Of
course, if one of your use cases for ditabase was organizing sets of
reusable glossary entries, glossary group now meets that requirement. On the
other hand, it could be useful to have peer glossary groups within a single
ditabase for purely organizational purposes.
