PS3 firmware 1.8: PS2 upscaling?

FW1.8 tomorrow?
I'm still hovering at 1.5 while hoping that the rumored homebrew exploits are on the way, but this is tempting. I have no upscaling DVD player, but the 1080p XBR television's internal upscaler should be every bit as good, right?
My PS3 *IS* my PS2 + BD player. I never owned a PS2 and I don't own a single PS3 game (I only rent). That means that the PS2 upscaling feature is of particular interest to me. For one, I need confirmation that the US PS3 is capable of this. It has no hardware for doing this and the software would be intensive and lag-inducing. To top it off, I don't think the US PS3 can handle it when the kernel has been rebooted into PS2 mode. The PSone emulation does not reboot the PS2 and is clearly inferior to even the PSP's PSone emulation upscaling, so I can see that being improved.
Is it possible that the PS3 may start selectively emulating PS2 titles even with the PS2 hardware present to introduce these features? I suppose that is possible and much more likely than 1080p upscaling for ALL PS2 games.
Edit: Nevermind. Now that there's a FW1.8 thread, I'll ask there. Lock plz.
