Default YouTube Goes Mega-Ultra-Crazy-Wide?

YouTube is a Google company through-and-through. By that I mean they change things without telling their partners (of which I'm one), and there's rarely if ever an explanation why. Above is a screen shot of YouTube's crazy new ultra-wide video display mode. You can see it on my Zune HD unboxing video if you click over to the HD version. I measure the pixels as 960 wide by 480 pixels tall. That's a 2:1 aspect ratio...so is there some new 2:1 HD camera that only YouTube knows about? I can't think of a valid reason why they'd implement such a wonky aspect ratio, and my Google searches on this topic have come up dry. Does anyone know what YouTube is up to?
