Not 100% this is a real issue or not. IIRC we decided to 
play it safe regardless.

However later CTA specs do clarify the handling of VIC >=128 which
apparently are known to have issues, and we're even supposed to
use the presence of such SVDs to determine which version of the
AVI infoframe to transmit. Currently we don't handle that stuff
correctly, but looks like it'll be much easier to remedy now.
