RE: [xml-dev] initiatives for glossary
DocBook 4.2 deals with glossary terms, with elements such as:

glossary - A glossary
glossaryinfo - Meta-information for a Glossary
glossdef - A definition in a GlossEntry
glossdiv - A division in a Glossary
glossentry - An entry in a Glossary or GlossList
glosslist - A wrapper for a set of GlossEntrys
glosssee - A cross-reference from one GlossEntry to another
glossseealso - A cross-reference from one GlossEntry to another
glossterm - A glossary term

See the reference page for glossary
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/glossary.html, which is from the online
version of Norm Walsh's "DocBook: The Definitive Guide," published by
O'Reilly.

You can download the latest version of DocBook from http://www.docbook.org.
