Philips
Licensing recently released the DVD+RW DL basic format specifications version
1.0 for distribution according to its news page.
Some information about the DVD+RW DL format has been available in the MMC-5 draft
for a while too but else we haven't heard much about the format.
The demand for rewritable dual layer DVD media will likely be quite small though as the demand for rewritable media in general is much lower than for write-once media and DVD±RW DL media will probably face much worse compatibility problems than both DVD±RW SL media and DVD±R DL media.

I suppose with RWdl they target first the owners of a dvd recorder, esp plain no-hdd versions. IMHO thats where the research money should have gone long ago.
