By a strange coincidence, I was reading a recent CHIRP publication this
morning, and this very subject came up. The response, if I'm understanding
it correctly, is a little concerning - it implies that there are places
where a glideslope intercept from above is regarded as normal.


What is CHIRP? In the US, ATC is required to vector aircraft to intercept
the localizer at an altitude not above the glideslope or below the minimum
glideslope intercept altitude specified on the SIAP.
