As far as I'm concerned, the blue tint and the crushed blacks in the '04 DVDs is a non-issue since I refuse to watch the SEs- but in all honesty, I wouldn't mind if Lowry gave a similar "blue" treatment to the films again as long as they were the 77/80/83 versions (in HD). The sound issues with the '04 DVDs (like the missing force theme from the death star attack) were actually more bothersome to me than the color issues (the one time I watched them, that is).
But then, I'm not as much of a purist as some. I don't care about the "original-ORIGINAL" soundtracks- the ones they did for the DC/Faces laserdiscs (that were ported over to the '06 DVDs) are fine to me, and I don't really care about the original scroll (since I saw SW for the first time theatrically in '82 with the amended scroll already added).
I just want the non-CGI'd versions in HD now, and like I've said here many times previously, the '06 DVDs were the last video purchase I'm making from Lucasfilm LTD until they are released.

It'd be easy to include all of the necessary soundtracks and the original crawl, especially with amount of space HD would have.
