People can decide later on whether to remove the glossary page 
from dlang.org.
The two pages have somewhat different goals: the page in the spec 
is going to be precise, whereas I guess the current glossary page 
is meant to help the casual reader of dlang.org. (the current 
glossary page is somewhat poor at the former)
But I actually find it pretty strange to have a glossary page in 
the location where it is now, so you have my vote to remove it 
there.
