The goal of the glossary is to contain all of the inter-page links and
external URL's. It works like a table of macros that get expanded.
For a real example I have two different servers that use different styles of
page counters, but other wise the page is the same.
So at the end of the single content page these macros get expanded by looking
up in the glossary file what needs to happen:
<%COUNTER_TEXT%>
<%COUNTER_URL%>
Maybe there is some similar concept in what you have under a different name.
The build process controls which glossary gets used.
Same concept applies to internal URL's, same page content may appear in a
different place on a different server. So when you go to move a page you
only change the glossary. You don't have to go mucking through all of the
content files to make sure you didn't miss one when you moved it.
