The fact that a CAT tool is able to use a TM as a glossary does not make it a glossary format. There is no comment field in TMX (and although it is possible to add Notes to TMX entries, there is no standardised way of using them for glossary purposes), and no other word-related fields (e.g. parts of speech, antonyms, etc.) either.
