It's already got TrueHD and DTS HD, what more does it need? 8 channels of high bitrate sound in a lossless format.
I wonder if the new format will use Sony's Direct Stream Digital process?
If BD comes up with its own more power to it. But a lot of SACD fans believe SACD imparts a distinctive sonic characteristic because of it's DSD modulation process. I'm not sure if any high bit PCM process will suffice for the hardcore SACD faithful (of which I am not... I'm just sayin')
