I have it from a reliable source that "Dolby Lossless" is a combination of Dolby Digital and MLP. My source did not indicate whether it encompasses DD+ or not, but I suspect it does.
By using the name Dolby Lossless for the combination, they avoid MLPs association with DVD-Audio.
This part is IMO: It would allow some companies (remaining nameless of course) to include particular codecs that was a part of competing audio disc standard. They aren't using MLP, they're using "Dolby Lossless"
Semantics? Yes. When all you have left is semantics...
