This PR addresses issue #2892 by updating the Terms and Glosses section of the Guidelines to state that the <gloss> element claims membership of att.placement. I also highlighted the suggested values which might be most relevant for encoding glosses that occur in the margins of a text as well as above or below a line of text.

Only major thing that needs to be fixed before merge is the typo on line 1229.

I am hesitant about the addition of @atts in this line. While I am not really against it, seems to me the only thing it achieves is that if we ever add another attribute to att.placement (e.g. @subplace :​-​) it would not show up here. That might be a good thing, but I think it more likely to be a bad thing.

Looks like just a boo-boo. The leading ‘C’ should be deleted.
