What we need is to have all content produced in 16:9 (on existing and paid-for production gear,) and have all SD versions letterboxed. 
You win my vote!
The only resistance to going all letterboxed SD right now are the commercials. 
Alas, no.
PBS has no commercials. I serve on the PBS HD Quality Group. We discuss many issues and often achieve unanimity. But when it comes to letterbox for widescreen content for 4:3 TVs I am in the minority on the group. It is probably our most-contentious issue. I have had to bring in support from directors and producers to keep PBS from banning letterbox. 

TTFN,
Mark
