There needn't have been any issue with size... MHL != HDMI...
It can be defined to run over many phy layers, provided the right characteristics are there.
But for now it's mainly targeted towards mUSB...
It outputs uncompressed HD video "&" audio via mUSB & into the HDMI port of any TV.
It does this with the use of an adapter that comes with every phone that implements MHL.

But as mentioned previously it's not likely (albeit not 100% ruled-out) that they've done or plan to do anything with MHL.
Despite being one of the consortium's original members

what ISNT an issue wrt size is DLNA ... i was going to come in this thread and ask that everyone calm down about the HDMI and just stream OTA with DLNA. most consoles/pcs/tvs will have you covered (not as saturated as a fm radio) but should aid for most if not all use cases that need an HDMI onboard.
Good point, I think it has 5Ghz 802.11n right?
That comes close (although is far from perfect) for reliable "HD" streaming.
I guess DLNA helps make it flawless? (not sure how that'd work)
Otherwise just use USB OTG.....
