Yes it should be straightforward to modify the matrix CCE uses in order to create a "KDVD". Personally I would be concerned that using non-standard settings might affect compatibility with standalone players - despite the claims that the streams are 100% DVD-compliant, there is no guarantee that all players will be happy playing video encoded with unusual parameters.

I have serious doubts about this statement. As I understand it, "K" compression is simply a set of tricks designed to eliminate more info from the source, hopefully with no noticeable loss of quality, in order to encode into less space. There would be little or no benefit in using the technique at standard sizes and bitrates.
