AC3's more complex than DTS, so building another lossy format around an AC3 core would be much harder than just boosting the bitrate. (Not that I think it's a bad idea. AAC would still be a better idea, hrmph.) DTS is practically just ADPCM, you can add and peel bits from it the way vorbis was originally designed to.
TrueHD is lossless AC3, on the other hand, similar to the Wavpack hybrid concept.
