Description
In #604 I suggested a 'just once' flag for including glossary items as footnotes. I would like to also / alternatively suggest that there could be an option for "If less than N words". This would allow short glossary items to appear as a footnotes, but be a bit cleverer about which ones. There might also be a flag that said short glossary entries that are converted to footnotes don't appear in the glossary.
An alternative approach might be to allow glossary items to be categorised by the user with milestones or \cat to flag how the entry should be handled.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #604 and the existing glossary and footnote handling in the XeTeX-based package. Compare the proposed word-count, omission, and categorisation alternatives, then define a single option and its expected glossary and footnote behavior before implementation.
