Given my druthers (and I have had much coffee) the only frame rate
standard in use would be a profile max frame rate (72?, 120?) to limit
to what decoders could handle. New fixed pixel displays (which don't
flicker anyway) would just display at the variable rate needed, creating
sort of a universal solvent for PAL conversions, etc.
But nobody has asked me. :-(
