The 'standard' seems old enough that s-video and color-diff component don’t seem like they were included. I'd bee a little surprised however if there weren’t variations or amendments over the years... I'll post anything if I find it.
The RGB's are however there, they might be useful... but likely not. They can be transcoded, but thats... not quite a good solution.
I always enjoy poking fun at US CE manufactures when they seem really proud of all the features on a product; I ask them where the SCART connector is. (My coworkers seem to be getting a bit tired of the question too) Inevitably they reply that the 'standard' only supports PAL. Rubbish. SCART might not be panacea-ic, but it sure would make it easier for my parents to plug in their DVD player.
