Not a good reason... What you are saying is a coordination problem 
not a real issue. It's not difficult to edit the QA Glossary... if 
Editors send their new definitions to the QA glossary Editors AND 
it's even easier to maintain than 3 glossaries in 3 specifications.

So we can add them :) all people would benefit of these definitions. 
The efforts of glossary inside W3C is to collect in one place all the 
used terms to avoid disparate definitions in different documents 
which become rapidly unmaintanable.

counter-effective.

it's going against the effort of Olivier and people of the QA Team 
which try to make a global glossary to avoid different definitions of 
the same terms among W3C Specifications.
