If that were the case, the <term/> & it's associated <dfn/> could be 
anywhere in a document, and connected via id & href attributes? I like that 
idea.

You might like to read - http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/def.html#markup 
...which delves into how definitions could be marked up better. I found it 
very interesting. Not sure if it's really right for XHTML's direction (but 
that's not my decision either), but I read it recently and am thinking of 
doing something like it for my own personal XML use.
