This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Pf notes the attempt to provide linked definitions. However, in our experience these frequently seem circular and unhelpful. A separate section providing definitions for terms in this specification, especially to those definitions which are particular to this specification, would greatly aid in the understandability of this document, especially for persons not yet intimate with the specification.
Could you provide some examples of circular definitions? I believe there are over a thousand terms defined at this point. Listing them all would get somewhat unwieldy.

Not to mention that some of the definitions are rather complicated and require entire chapters to explain.
