I looked at the usage of the term "provider bridging" in the document. I think that clause 5.3.2.5 could be summarized as:
Provider Bridging: The carriage of LANs, bridged LANs, or virtual bridged LANs, typically by a service provider, over Provider Bridges (802.1Q-2011 Clause 5.10) or Backbone Edge Bridges (802.1Q-2011 Clause 5.11).

James, the definitions you offer are awfully circular for my taste. Also, in
my exposure to IEEE standards, it's not customary to cite normative
references in the glossary--- but I freely grant you this may be my own,
parochial viewpoint.
That said, I have a very minor proposal to improve some of the language:
change "customer protocol transparent connectivity" to "its customers
protocol-transparent connectivity".

All
We have an editorial comment in the draft requesting that we add a
definition for provider bridging. My suggestion is to add the following
definition:
provider bridging: A network using that uses Provider Bridges to offer
customer protocol transparent connectivity. See: IEEE 802.1Q-2011."
For reference, 802.Q-2011 defines the following (among other terms)
3.138 Provider Bridge: An S-VLAN Bridge or a Provider Edge Bridge.
3.139 Provider Bridged Network: A network using Provider Bridges to offer
customer protocol transparent connectivity.
3.140 Provider Edge Bridge: A system comprising a single S-VLAN component
and one or more CVLAN components implemented in accordance with Clause 5 of
IEEE Std 802.1Q.
