This test case is intended to pass because there is a link to a glossary for the words that are used in an unusual or restricted way.
However, browser support for the link element will determine if a user can access the glossary.
Check whether there is a mechanism available for identifying specific definitions of words or phases from nautic jargon used in this test file.

“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case needs review before it can be established if it passes or fails the following success criterion: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/guidelines.html#meaning-idioms. The code that causes doubt can be found at line 16, column 7.
The user can find definitions of technical terms.
Whether the user can find the link to the glossary (defined by the link element) really depends on the user agent.
Mozilla 1.7.3, SeaMonkey, Opera 7.54 and Opera 9.02 support this type of links; Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.O (and earlier versions) and Firefox 2.0 (and earlier versions) don't.
(Firefox add-ons MetaTags (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1668/) and
cmSiteNavigationToolbar (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1324/) can display this type of links.
There is a <Link> toolbar for Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher at http://www.draig.de/LinkBar/index.en.html.)
