At least HDMI should be settled down for a bit with v1.3, as there are no immediate plans in the pipeline for major revisions (unlike when v1.1 and v1.2 were released while v1.3 was known to be "just around the corner" and nobody knew how HDMI would work with the then-unreleased HD formats).

I agree that a second HDMI output would be popular, but I suspect that we're only likely to see that on something that would be a 990 replacement - if they keep the two-processor product line, a 970 replacement will probably only offer a single HDMI output. And I wonder what the HDCP handshake issues might be when trying to do two video outputs? It should be feasible, but how would that negotiation work? Would only one be able to operate at a time?
