A few comments:
1. In addition to language differences (translations) we also need to
account for 'cultural' differences. E.g. in Australia we tend to refer to
"described video" (or video description) rather than Audio Description.
2. Why aren't we including all the WCAG/ATAG/UAAG glossary terms - these
are the terms folk will come across as they read the Recs. As glossaries to
Recs, these are already official W3C glossaries. If there are different
definitions in different glossaries, then we should acknowledge this and
provide the current and definitive one. In this way, WCAG 2.0 (and other
new Recs) can just point to the "official" WAI glossary which can grow as
required.
3. If the purpose is, as Henk said "to explain words used in WAI documents
that might be difficult to understand by readers of several countries and
backgrounds", then this isn't a WAI Glossary per-se, but rather an
"Introduction" to (common) WAI terms/words.

Dear all,
WAI-EO is planning to have a 'WAI-Glossary' to explain words used in
WAI documents that might be difficult to understand by readers of
several countries and backgrounds.
The list below is a first proposal of the entries from the W3C-glossay
that WAI-EO could take in consideration for such a 'WAI-glossary', done
by Braillenet and Accessibility.
Comments are welcome.
Regards,
Henk
