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

You need to be logged into your account there, then select Tracker ->

Getting an account on SourceForge is trivial if you don't already have one.

There are a lot of books that contain TOCs within Bibliography or
Glossarys within normal Chapters. So, the more "recursion" docbook
allows, the better is the flexibility to model the books that are
around. Especially items from science (jurisprudence, and others) with
thousands of footnotes and glossary items need to be structured in a
fine granular manner.
So that's fine! Just seen now that <revhistory> can be the only
element of an appendix, so it's clearer to me that this treatment
disparity of elements like glossary, toc, index does not have enough
reasons to subsist. Is there an opinion here to ask for the
specification to permit <bibliography>, <index>, <glossary>, <toc> to
be the only element of <appendix>?
Interesting enough, it would not break anything! :-D
