Since dl[epub:type="glossary"] > dd is specified as implied to be glossdef, I assume glossterm should be implied from ... > dt.

Since `dl[epub:type="glossary"] > dd` is specified as implied to be _glossdef_, I assume _glossterm_ should be implied from `... > dt`.

As a copy/paste typo, I agree, but as the actual implied term, no, I think the SSV is wrong on that count. The dt element contains the term but there's supposed to be a dfn tag around the term itself. A dt can contain more text than just the term being defined.

But I expect this is one of the more unused corners of epub as the indexing spec never got traction, so it probably doesn't matter too much if implying the term from dt doesn't work properly all the time.
