Edit: You say you're hoping to see 1080p specs for UHD BD, you've seen the slides on this site, right?

Specifically this one?

sorry for the late reply on this one. I knew that UHD was going to support 1080p, I'm mainly wondering if we'll actually see that support if studios would rather upscale existing 2K transfers to 4K and call them 4K. I hope that doesn't happen. I also was hoping that the specs for 1080p in the UHD spec would be even higher than 4K given the less stringent requirements on bandwidth. I would love to see the 1080p specs maxed out more since they have the ability to do it even with the existing HDMI protocols.
