I debated with myself for 347d2b07fcc2 on whether to add id attribs to <glosssee> entries. The only saving grace for doing that is that you can link to such entries; but if you do that, you're only causing the user one more click in order to see the definition they want to see. So in the end I decided not make the glosssee's directly referenceable. And I think this new entry shouldn't have an id either. I think that what glossentry.show.acronym allows is to show the <acronym> text that's part of the main entry: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28869578/docbook-5-rendering-without-abbrev-tag/28879785#28879785 so the fact that there's an id in the other entry doesn't change anything. If we do turn glossentry.show.acronym on (and I don't see any reason not to), we can follow up later to add <acronym> and <abbrev> tags to other entries, too. -- Álvaro Herrera Breisgau, Deutschland — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "I'm always right, but sometimes I'm more right than other times."
