As you all are no doubt aware, the glossentry dtd
and schema files all have filenames based on "glossary" - eg.
glossary.xsd.


I was wondering what the history of this might be? Why aren't they all
based on "glossentry?"

Hi Dana - I'm not sure if I was responsible for that naming or not, but
either way I would guess this is because it was referred to (verbally at
meetings as well as in the original designs) as the "Glossary"
specialization. So, the files were created with that name, as were the
public IDs that indicate those files. For consistency, glossentry might
have been better, but functionally there is no difference.
