And I've noticed that, as a result of the fact that video/audio cabling are
separate not only for consumers but also for producers, distributors and
broadcasters, audio is increasingly out-of-sync from the video whenever you
watch digital TV.

Any chance there will ever be a standard for tagging video frames with timing
marks  to match similar timing marks in an audio stream?  It doesn't seem like
a hard technical problem.  It drives me nuts watching WCVB-DT or one of the
other digital channels and seeing the mouths move several hundred milliseconds
out-of-sync with the audio.
