1080p displays are so dense that (at normal viewing distances ;-) ) it 
doesn't look too bad if you just scale and offset 540p for your 1080i.

The upconversion to 1080p@60 doesn't have much to do with interlace as 
far as the frame rate change.  It's usually more a way of dealing with 
Hollywood's 24p movies.  Until they really get the motion compensated 
conversion right, IMHO, they should just support display at 24 FPS on 
fixed pixel (non-blinking) displays and call it good.  It would look 
more "film like".
