Darryl,
The only reason I can think of for putting the burst in the sync region is to prevent it being visible during retrace on some existing receivers without power blanking. But that also means that most existing receivers will see it as a second H sync pulse. I think it's an excellent idea to make this switchable so we can see the effects of one case or the other on the sets at ETF.
