HDMI 1.3 Needs All-New Cables?

"You know what it means to assume. But I assumed anyway, and I may have done that in error. What’s that? Well, I knew that the new-fangled HDMI 1.3 was coming down the pike, and that it would allow Dolby True-HD, DTS-HD, and higher bit-depth video. I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that this could all be done inside the electronics components. That is, I thought that the HDMI cables themselves, and their connectors, would remain the same."

It's looking like we're going to need a new type of HDMI cable in order to comply with the 1.3 spec. Given how expensive HDMI cables are, that's not a good thing. :?
