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. 
The table is the "distinguished by" part. I formatted it as a table to make it easy, or at least so 
I thought! :-)

For example, d-NTSC is distinguished via MPEG-PS binary metadata:
'progressive_sequence' == 0 & 'progressive_frame' == 0 & 'aspect_ratio_information' == 0010 & 
'frame_rate_code' == 0100 & 'horizontal_size_value' == 0010 1101 0000 & 'horizontal_size_extension' 
== 00 & 'vertical_size_value' == 0001 1110 0000 & 'vertical_size_extension' == 00.

That's the logic. Putting the table into a different glossary entry wouldn't work, but obviously, 
the way I'm doing it now is a FAIL.

I'll try again.
