     I know that I'll get flames for this, but the arguably best definition
of NTSC is in part 73 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Contained therein
are the complete timing and bandwidth requirements for both monochrome and
colour telecasts. 

     In terms of resolution capability, see:

Day, A.G. : "From studio to home: how good is the electronic highway?
J. SMPTE 94:2 @ 216  (Feb 85)

Wendland and Schroder : "Signal processing for new HQTV systems"
Ibid. @ 190

Carlson and Bergen : "Perceptual considerations for HDTV systems"
J. SMPTE 93:12 @ 1127

Fukinuki, Hirano et.al.: "Experiments on proposed EDTV with NTSC compatibility"
J. SMPTE 93:10 @ 923

Chouinard and Barry: "NTSC and MAC signals in noise and interference environments"
Ibid. @ 930

Mazda, et. al. "Reference data for radio engineers" (or something like that)

      This is just the stuff within arms reach of my desk, and there is 
almost always interesting stuff on the topic of NTSC every month in SMPTE
journal. THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON HOW WELL NTSC CAN SERVE US INTO THE 
NINETIES AND BEYOND. It may turn out that oversampled - bandwidth limited -
reconstructed NTSC is entirely adequate.
