re: GI HDTV proposal

I'm not familiar with the GI proposal, but at the recent CCITT meeting
in Japan, representatives from Apple and IBM proposed a resolution-independent
digital video standard which would be scalable across a range of communications
channels. This work is going on in cooperation with the MIT Media Lab.

Does this use a Peano-curve scan like the BBC's resolution-independent
approach?  THese things are neat ideas, but I for one hope that before
HiVision becomes totally obsolete, we'll at least have STARTED to
switch to hexagonal pixels...  Does anyone know of any pixel-shape
independent scanning schemes?
