Your other comments are good, but I think scalability is mostly a waste 
of time. The full resolution case winds up being somewhat less 
bitrate-efficient, and this is the part that contains most of the bits. 
This is enough that simulcast actually competes fairly well, is much, 
much simpler, and avoids a host of IPR issues.
