They don't autopan from left and right when action switches places on screen though; which is one of the features that I think needs to be added to HD-DVD. The ability to provide panning information so that there only needs to be one format of DVD instead of worrying about Full Screen and Wide Screen really seems like common sense to me.

As for me, I always buy Wide Screen, but I know a few people that want Full Screen.
