I'm affraid not... see for yourself:

Deep Color (10, 12 & 16bit) is often employed in video displays where very wide color gamuts are offered, such as with high-end plasma display monitors compatible with the xvYCC gamut range. Due to the increased range of hue and luminosity of these devices, lower color depths might result in wider gaps between color values. This could result in a condition called posterization due to color banding.

Deep Color bit depth (10, 12 or 16 bit) should be used for wider color gamuts (xvYCC) in order to avoid posterization and color banding.

THIS is the whole point for HDMI 1.3 ... which allows for sufficient bandwidth to pass 10, 12 or 16 bit Deep Color (as opposed to previous versions of HDMI).

They definitely seem to go hand in hand to me... unless i'm missing something here
