That's exactly my point. What if he's just waiting until the blu-ray to put any sort of work whatsoever into remastering the OOT? Isn't that what Cameron's doing with The Abyss?
Lucas, at least so far as he's concerned, put all of the necessary work into restoring the OT back in '03/'04. True, it wouldn't necessarily take that kind of restoration all over again in order to achieve an acceptable level of quality for a 1080p master of the O-OT, but what you said is exactly my point, zombie. It was already done, so he just got THX to do whatever it needed and then slapped it on a dvd.

You're assuming that he will do a remaster in the future though. The 2006 DVD does not require this to explain its existance. In fact, Lucas has been on record stating the exact opposite--that he has no plans to re-issue the OOT and that he does NOT want to spend money to remaster it. So I'm not sure why you keep assuming he's going to. The GOUT was thrown on as a bonus feature because it just happened to be lying around in the archives, if it wasn't for that it would have never been done.
