IMO you should check the way it’s done by the FAQ application.

I don’t think that’s the best. Check the FAQ app and how it does it.
What would make more sense to me if a UI similar to the FAQ one:
* Display all glossary entries in a LT
* Have a search form to search for entries
* Have a “Add Glossary Entry” button and text field to add a new entry
See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/FAQ%20Application

See above

I don’t think that’s needed since the page name can be used as the glossary
item name.

Actually, the need is exactly the same as for the FAQ app so it’ll be very
simple to copy. At least initially since we may need to add other properties
for glossary items.
The bug difference will come for the rendering side and the UI to navigate or
add a glossary item when viewing an existing page.
