Sorry, slightly off-topic, but still:
Some people have done terrible data reduction to UHJ recordings already:

Having said that, back in the years I tested between different data
reduction
systems and UHJ and Dolby Surround. UHJ is much more robust against
data reduction than Dolby Surround, as many data reduction algorithms
wipe out all such content that has large phase differences betwen the stereo
channels. Thus Dolby Surround recordings tend to turn into plain mono for
example in DAB transmissions that use low bitrates.
