AVC is permitted today, John, and has been for several months
http://www.atsc.org/standards/a_72_part_2.pdf
The key here is the MPEG-2 (2007) normative reference [4] which I am told (I
have yet to actually read the corrigendum) permits the appropriate number of
samples.

1080p60 is not an ATSC transmission format using MPEG 2, but could easily be
accommodated in the future using the AVC codec. (But probably won't due to
the incompatibility with existing receivers.)
Ditto with Blu-Ray or other sources (DBS or cable for instance.) They can
easily accommodate 1080p60 in the future using an advanced codec. 1080p60
native in a display leaves room for future growth.
From your own link, current Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are at best 1080p24, with
convoluted means of synthesizing 1080p60:
"Another example of 1080p processing, is the Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray Disc
Player - what is does is even more complicated. This Blu-ray player reads
the 1080p/24 signal off the disc, then it actually reinterlaces the signal
to 1080i, and then deinterlaces its own internally made 1080i signal in
order to create a 1080p/60 signal for output to a 1080p input capable
television. However, if it detects that the HDTV cannot input a 1080p
signal, the Samsung BD-P1000 just takes its own internally created 1080i
signal and passes that signal through to the HDTV, letting the HDTV do the
final deinterlacing step. "

What I mean is... "1080p/60 is essentially the same frame repeated twice
every 30th of a second. (enhanced video frame rate)."

I don't see 1080p60 in your list below, so my question is does it exist
only in HDTV sets as an upconversion capability, and as
an HDMI output format in Blu Ray players? But NOT as a transmission
format?
