I'd forgotten about this document! Thanks for reminding us.
HLShd does not appear in the table of Video and Audio profiles because,
"To enable resolution, bit-rate and encoding optimisations to be made
to the new encoding profiles, a test tape of representative content at
varying encoding difficulties was produced by BBC R&D. This test tape
was designed to test the encoder performance, using a range of content
and included clips, from popular shows such as Strictly Come Dancing,
East Enders and Top Gear."
HLShd is only supported as a legacy mode, and only by the Akamai CDN,
so we could lose it altogether.
To be honest the one I'd like to see (rather than 960x540p/50 or
1280x720p/50) is 1920x1080i/25 but that's not available AFAIK.
