OP
You're correct, OS X needs HDCP/DRM added via an update.
The implementation for Blu-Ray playback is already a part of DVD Player subroutines, but it just doesn't have the DRM in place yet.
I think the Cinema Displays are HDCP compliant, they're advertised as "HD" and they certainly have the resolutions (23" +) but you may have to find clarification on that!
I think the issue for Apple is the use of slot-loading drives.
The drives that I've seen, are all tray-loaders, so Apple would have to find a reliable manufacturer e.g. Sony, and strike a deal with them.
I see no reason why they'd shy away from the HD format, now with HD-DVD dead, seeing as they're a part of the Blu-Ray camp, themselves.
