There's really no ETA for it at this point, unless things are happening that I'm not aware of, so perhaps some more rips in the current format are in order. Maybe 2014 will see some activity...

It's "RF" in that the video and audio are modulated on carrier frequencies before the combined signal is encoded into pits, and would need to be demodulated in software to recover the original signals.
I like this in theory, but in practice it may just be too much trouble. You end up with a "complete" capture of one particular playback by one particular player of one particular disc. Is this sufficiently "definitive" to be worth the effort?
