OK, then I think what you have — what you put in your text attachment
"d-NTSC & d-PAL .txt" in your previous message — is two single-line
glossary entries, conjoined with entries from a table mapping H.262
Metadata Values to video types d-NTSC and d-PAL.
Well, that deserves an answer. There are two parts to each glossary
entry: 1, A simple statement of what a thing is, and 2, a
"distinguished by" identification so that readers can identify the thing.
You are making an author's choice to put #2 in the glossary. I maintain
that #2 is something different, and does not belong in a glossary. In my
opinion only #1 belongs in the glossary. #2 belongs in, for example, a
description of the structures found in MPEG-PS streams according to
H.262 (or something like that).
You seem to want to combine them. I disagree with this editorial choice,
but you hold the pen and I don't care to pick it up.

I'll try again.
How's this look, Jim? Clear? Or muddled?
d-NTSC [noun]: The digital equivalent of NTSC. d-NTSC is distinguished
by a frame having all 8, MPEG-PS binary metadata values below.
'aspect_ratio_information' = 0010 [1]
'frame_rate_code' = 0100 [1]
[… snip …]
It is an improvement that you are now stating the context, "MPEG-PS
binary metadata values". You omitted that context before. But you
continue to put #2 in the glossary entry, and I continue to be of the
opinion that the glossary is the wrong place for the content. The
details of the table formatting of #2 is a side issue in this discussion.
