I'm not so sure we need all these standards quite yet.

There already exists a quite extensible standard for video, namely
auto-sync RGB.  The core of any HDTV system should be an auto-sync RGB
monitor (capable of the resolutions and scan rates we're talking here, as
a minimum) such as are now sold (for around $1000) for computers.

I would want my HD VCR to drive the monitor with RGB video anyway, so there
is no need for a special standard there.

The only extra part is the receiver to RGB converter.  Made a component,
it would be easy to replace and upgrade as standards develop.
