Re: Changing glossary to ???

I've fixed the validity problem (and cleaned up the rest of the XML a little) and it builds fine. However, glossaries cannot be translated properly in a number of languages -- notably Chinese and Japanese -- because we cannot yet sort entries in those languages. The output from Publican ends up with entries in a completely jumbled order. (In fact, the characters are being sorted according to their unicode codepoints, but this appears completely random to a human reader.) We have a long-standing bug against Publican to find a solution [0], and we're slowly chipping away at it as time allows, but it's non-trivial. Note also its appearance on the Publican wishlist, that links to some newly-found work that might help [1]. In the meantime, the only safe solution is not to use DocBook for any such content, where information is simply sorted according to alphabetical order. Until the translation issues can be solved, the Wiki is a much better place for this type of material.
