In the following example (1) from a sense tag, the meaning of the entry is equivalent to that part of the meaning that would be targeted by a search when making the English-Nx wordlist.

(1) <sense><def><seg>cougar</seg></def></sense>

But in (2) the meaning of the entry and the part that would be targetted by the English-Nx wordlist are not identical. Hence, we have added in the gloss mark-up.

(2) <sense><def><seg><gloss>worn down</gloss> to the end</seg></def></sense>

In case (1) should I add in a gloss mark-up, even though it is redundant? Or is gloss only necessary in those cases where the English-Nx target is not identical to the meaning of an entry?
