Three terms are defined at the end of the Foreword, but there are plenty of other jargon terms in the book that could be defined more specifically within the text.
Terms and concepts added to a glossary should be distinguished from any new additions to the Diagnostic Criteria, and there should be no duplication between the two sections. If clear definitions are available in a source document like Milne 1995, they should simply be cross referenced with a page number.

- specific horizon names relevant to the classification
