Everyone is using "720" as the width, but the display width and 4:3/16:9 
display aperture is actually supposed to be 704 (implying a Sample Aspect Ratio in an 
MPEG codec too dumb to specify it as 11/10 H/W, 1.10), and it can be encoded at 704 or 
720.
No question that it's 704 in ATSC (and probably some other systems), but there 
are also 720, 708, and other values.

TTFN,
