@2: This is missing the point, IMO. By your definition, 1x1080 would be 1080p, even though it would look like crap.
It wasn't me who decided what 1080p should refer to:
"1080p is the shorthand name for a category of display resolutions. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution"
Like it does for 480p. 704x480, 640x480, 720x480 are all used 480p standards.
Similarly HDV records in 1080i (and 720p is an allowed standard), but this not in an interlaced 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution, but 1440×1080 pixels (interlaced).
