Which is odd, really, considering that the decoding of MLP streams is mandatory in HD DVD.

Only 2-ch TrueHD (MLP) is mandatory on HD-DVD, and besides, TrueHD isn't DVD-Audio. A separate license, with resultant fees, is required to support DVD-Audio. These are video players are aimed at the mass market, and given the poor penetration of DVD-Audio into the mass market, maybe it's not worth it to Toshiba to spend the money to support a fringe audio format on a mass-market video player.
This is not the information we have been given!!
MLP decoding is mandatory up to 5.1 channels.
Dolby True HD is mandated for stereo.
However - and this is a biggie - MLP support is not, as you correctly point out - thesame as DVD-A support, although it would take but a firmware update to initialize this.(I will go & find the links to the references, and post back later)
