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.
