Re: I18N-ISSUE-207: Term data category and dfn element [.prep-ITS-20]

I'm mostly concerned about whether we have a clear idea of how its:term 
and dfn interact, and explaining that - rather than tutorial-like 
information about using them.  I think the spec needs to make clear the 
relationship between the two to justify whether its:term should be used.
