You can see an image in a shiny surface (though you may need to magnify the surface to see that image, as in the afore-mentioned chain mail). You can’t generally see distinct images on any scale in glossy surfaces.
This is so far the most understandable difference I've seen so far -- assuming it is correct. But still it would contradict the usage of {boch} for a "shiny nose", because I doubt that a nose is able to refelect an image and I would think that a shiny nose, i.e. if coated with suntan lotion for instance, would be considered "glossy", but not shiny. :-/ -- Lieven L.
