In thruth it seems really strange to me that a reference would say "if you don't know, do as you please".

BTW you can access the official references? They are not public and require a login. In this case you sure have the latest version?
They are freely accessible since a while: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.262/en

Much interesting is your second links, in wich at a glance it appears that "BT601 for SD and 709 for HD"
And this statement i've personally read in clear or between the lines on many places.
Yes, many people say so. But at the end, only the dvd specs can give a definite answer. Unfortunately i don't know anyone who has them.

A separate issue is what the players and renderers do when playing video. Many of them are ignoring that setting in the mpeg-2 header. There is a lot of discussion about that too in those threads.
