HDMI v1.3 is new - the standard was first published less than 18 months ago (which is "just the other day" in these terms) and the chips that are based on it are still evolving. Heck, there were still no players on the market that would output bitstreams of TrueHD and DTS-HD MA just a couple months ago. Just six or eight weeks ago, they were dealing with delays (which may or may not be resolved yet) created by one of the only two DSP chip makers building hardware to decode the new formats at a receiver/processor level. It's a tough time for the whole industry, which is why I (and some others) have been leery of anything being rushed out right now. I agree that it's in Outlaw's best interests to keep pushing forward as fast as they safely can, but the damage inflicted by arriving too soon and having show-stopping bugs or missing features is going to be worse for them than losing sales in the short term.
