When the interception will be above the platform altitude, the current CAP413 actually specifies:

BIGJET 347, descend on the glidepath, QNH 1011

and

BIGJET 347, when established on localiser runway 28, descend on the glidepath QNH 1011

...though why the localiser omits the article while the glidepath attracts the definite article is a mystery. Perhaps written by a Yorkshireman?
