I think it would be great to have this new vocabulary established and to 
follow it as general guidance in writing definitions.

When I read the part of the definition after the initial strictly 
logical part, I often think of this next section as 'context'. I'm not 
sure if this would be any better than 'explanatory text' but I just put 
it forward as another option.
