Who are you kidding. DisplayPort has multiple clock domains, requires clock extraction, a fixed link speed does make the frequency dependant losses a slight more manageable, however, still requires just about the same amount of silicon. HDCP is an Intel license. Most DVD's / TV's have HDCP, so DisplayPort will have licensing costs also. HDMI1.3 has 10.2Gbps vs DisplayPort 10.7. Not much of a difference bandwidth wise.
