I've been following the spec, and it's got so many covoluted solutions to self-imposed problems (mostly encryption/DRM) that I think it's doomed. They're already up to 1.2 of the spec, mostly for bugfixes, and there are several more major revisions in the pipeline, which won't necessarily be backwards compatable with the current implementations.

HDMI is what happens when you have design-by-committee, and best engineering practices take a back seat to protecting against 'threats' that the business hacks think are important.
