for a fact there are people ove rhere to run 405 line System A sets, for
all there have been no system A broadcasts for 30 years or so).
In any case, I feel there should be a way of describing such a signal,
even if nobody is currently using it.

So my question is : If you use
''NTSC-like' colour encoding (phase
angle is the hue, amplitude is the saturation -- think of it as being
PAL without the altehrnate line flip) on a 625 line 50Hz vertical
svideo signal, what do you call it? Coloquially it's often called
'NTSC 50Hz, or even NTSC-I (or NTSC-B/G) but those names are clearly
wrogn if you're being pedantic about it. What is the right neam?
"Obsolete".
