When you insert a new glossentry, by default, XXE uses the *simplest*
*possible* *content* for it. Unfortunately, in this case, the simplest
choice is a dumb one: a glosssee.
Explicitly select the glosssee element and use command "Replace" to
replace it by a glossdef. (The grammar says that you can't have both a
glosssee and a glossdef.)
This can be automated by defining an element template for glossentry in
docbook5.xxe:
---
<elementTemplate name="simple" selectable="override">
<glossentry xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";>
<glossterm></glossterm>
<glossdef><para></para></glossdef>
</glossentry>
</elementTemplate>
---
