Uh, "scalability"? Pretty vague, Mike. You found one extremely vague document focused on scalability, which doesn't have a damned thing to do with what we're talking about here.

You're grasping at straws.

Jeez that's a standards organisation clearly referring to 1280 x 1080 as 1080p.

You asked for just one source and then ask for more?

"HD DVCPRO HD 1080p (1280X1080) in a 16:9 aspect ratio at 29.97 fps"

You keep coming up with anedoctal evidence of companies referring to1280x1080 as 1080p. I have yet to see you provide one reliable source that actually defines that resolution as being 1080p and why it's considered that resolution. Why do none of the major sources refer to this as a valid 1080p resolution? Why do you have to keep digging up obscure scalability articles and video submittal guidelines to back up your argument?
