How do I categorise glazing within non-curtain walls?

With a regular curtain wall, the glazing portion is classified as IfcPlate with PredefinedType set to CURTAIN_PANEL.

However, curtain panels are only used as an exterior wall of a building which is an assembly of components, hung from the edge of the floor/roof structure rather than bearing on a floor. (source)

There are other walls which have IfcMembers too such as shopfront walls or internal office partitioning with glazing. How should we properly classify the glazing portion in this scenraio?

Just answering this for closure, it’s still an IfcPlate. Key phrasing in docs are:

NOTE Although not necessarily, plates are often add-on parts.
