Re: Square-bracket output of Definition in specs is bogus

_Please_ put classes on both ends -- here's the XHTML used in the XML
Schema family (e.g. [1]):

 <style type="text/css">
   . . .
   a.termref:visited, a.termref:link {font-family: sans-serif;
                              font-style: normal;
                              color: black;
                              text-decoration: none }

   span.termdef {color: #850021}
   . . .
 </style>

   <a class="termref" href="#key-targetNS">
    <span class="arrow">·</span>target namespaces<span class="arrow">·</span>
   </a>

   <span class="termdef">
    <a id="key-targetNS" name="key-targetNS">[Definition:]&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
     Several kinds of component have a <b>target namespace</b>, which
     is . . .
   </span>. 

This gives a much lighter-weight, non-disruptive visual impact for
uses of defined terms, greatly improving readability in paragraphs
with many such terms.
