Pushed with a bit of editorialization:

* I removed the glossary entry for "Domain (Internet)". AFAICS we
have not been making entries for non-SQL usages of terms: you won't
find anything about physics under "Atomic", nor anything about
flatware under "Fork", nor anything about the postal service under
"Postmaster". I don't think this is mere laziness; it could be
actively confusing to do so, since someone looking up "domain" from
elsewhere in the docs might be unsure which definition is meant.
Even in the places where the patch provides an exact link, there's
no certainty that a display tool will render the page in such a way
that it's impossible to misidentify which entry was linked to.

* I also added a bit more detail to the glossary entry, so that
people wouldn't have to go read the referenced section to come
away with a reasonable mental model of what a domain is.

* I thought the changes in information_schema.sgml were pretty
haphazard. There are 115 references to "domain" in that file
by my count, and there seemed little rationale behind the half
dozen you'd chosen to link-ify. I cut it down to just linking
from the section for the "domains" view, which seemed like
someplace that someone would look first if they were unsure
what this was about.
