50KHz Glideslope?

Who knows something about 50KHz spacing for glideslope receptors? Traditionally we have 40 GS frequencies, with 150KHz spacing from 329.15MHz to 335 MHz. But I see European ILS's requiring "50KHz Glideslope spacing". Anyone know what receptors do this? Or why we would want to do this? 8.33 spacing for VHF coms is easy to understand, but are 40 ILS frequencies in a given reception area really insufficient? Hmmm. How are these new frequencies being implemented? Do you have some documentation? Currently, each ILS frequency is channeled to a particular GS frequency. Given 50kHz spacing, and given that the ILS frequencies are 108.10 to 111.95 (and given that if the Freq*10 is even, it is a VOR frequency), there are only 40 available ILS channels in that frequency range: e.g. 108.10 108.15 108.30 108.35 ... The 150kHz spacing from 329.15-335 also results in 40 GS frequencies. So unless there is some change in the ILS specs, it seems odd that there should be a change in the GS specs.
