I think your algorithm is exactly right, it's just the loop control
that needs to be expanded:
foreach *Spec or attDef or valItem
And two additional steps, inserted before (a):
i) does it already have a <desc> which glosses the name of the item being
defined? If so, change it to <gloss>
ii) does it already have a <gloss> which describes the semantics of
the item being described? If so, change it to <desc>
