I would like 3 things to happen in my PDF output when using abbreviated-form:
  1. the surface-form is used on the first instance in the document;
  2. the acronym is used on the following instance in the document;
  3. a glossary composed of the used term and abbreviated-form elements is generated with the element <glosslist/>
Although this is mentioned in the documentation, the reality is that the term and surface-form elements are not rendered if the glossary keydef has the attribute processing-role="resource-only". Furthermore, the glossary of used glossentry's is not generated with <glosslist/>.

I can always add the generation of the glossary with an XSLT.  

The problem remains that:
  • if my glossary keydef has the processing-role attribute set to "resource-only"
  • then the abbreviated-form are not rendered in the output.  

 I don't want the full glossary in my document, I only want the glossary entries that were referenced to be generated.
