Yes, this style is good. Feel free to edit the files in the repo
to your liking.
 
BTW: IMHO when we have such an acronym, then the glossary
should reference to the place it has been introduced, so that
you can look up what it really means if you cannot make sense
of the description in the glossary. 

Alternatively, we could write the glossary always with an
explanation of each term.
