[clreq] Adding definitions to the glossary

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq:

== Adding definitions to the glossary ==
@ethantw some points for discussion about converting the glossary to 
hold linkable definitions, like jlreq:

the glossary currently has the following columns

term | pinyin | english

if we are to add definitions, like for jlreq, we need to add a 
'definition' column

i assume that the definition column cells will contain three versions 
of each definition, en, zh-hans, zh.  Each of which can be filtered 
out.

do we need the first two columns to be changed to TC term | TC pinyin 
| SC term | SC pinyin?  Or should we add both TC and SC terms to one 
column, and pinyin to a second?  If we do that, should we allow the SC
 vs TC terms/pinyin to be filtered out, or keep them always there?

we also need to add ids to each row. I guess it wouldn't work to base 
the ids on the pinyin, since we'd ideally want to avoid tone marks so 
that people have less difficulty constructing links – if we avoid the 
tone marks, we'll presumably have clashes with some words. So maybe we
 should base them on the english?

if we have answers to these questions, i can help, if you like, to 
reconfigure the table markup the next time i get some free time, 
because i think it is important to sort out the glossary asap.
