My first though was to use key() for this.

But what's wrong with:

<xsl:template match="glossary/term">
 <a name="{.}"/> ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="acronym">
 <a href="#{.}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
</xsl:template>

(Unless perhaps some of your glossary entries are not valid in URLs: in
which case revert to key() and generate-id().)
