Hear, hear! That's what I'm waiting for, too, and that's why I decided to "go cheap" for the time being with the new Pioneer universal player, especially since moving to a all-digital-out DVD-A/SACD player will probably also involve moving to a new receiver (my archaic Denon doesn't have an iLink jack). Once a cross-manufacturer iLink option emerges (right now, as I understand it, iLinked players and receivers must come from the same manufacturer), I figure the 6-channel-analog-out-from-the-player format will go the way of 8-track and Beta. Here's hoping, anyway.
