Yes, I think this is an appropriate change in this context
since we don't want the space after the glossary term.

Yes, this is a good point too.  But we also have to add
another template for match="*" in mode="glossary.as.blocks"
to pass through elements to the modeless templates,
since a glossdef can contain many other elements besides
