We don't fix issues with the display or use of unsupported tags. FAQs are
supported, so the issue was fixed. Glossaries are not supported, therefore the
issue will not be addressed.

We either support something fully or we don't support it at all. If people want
to use unsupported tags then they need to fully support them themselves, which
would involve making a brand and doing overriding the XSL.

Sure, deferred it is.
