I consider myself a moderate supporter of HDR (400 nits sound nice while 10,000 nits sounds like fantasy) but I did wonder how they were going to do Dolby HDR with 10-bit video. I guess the answer was that it couldn't be done and I hope they don't go too far with the cost cutting.

xvYCC is a proprietary feature that is supported by few companies and is technically limited since it had to be compatible with 8-bit video. In my opinion if 4K resolution is the only feature supported by 4K Blu-ray than the studios will have a tough time selling movies that were finished in 2K resolution.
