Are HDDVD discs crippling component video output?
I know that HD DVDs have the capability of restricting the output along component cables to 480i/p. But do the HD DVDs being sold today actually do that? Is there some indication on HDDVD packaging of whether the disc sets that cripple flag?
I've got a Pioneer rear projection HDTV (1080i) without HDMI and would love to know if I'm going to see 1080i though the component cables.

You're talking about whether there is a flag for the ICT (Image Constraint Token). My understanding is this will not be an issue until 2010 or 2012 or further.
Yes, you will see glorious, glorious 1080i.

I wonder if they'll ever bother to use it on a wide scale. Since the digital copy protection is pretty much broken, why would anyone take the extra time and effort to do an analog capture of the video?
