I was actually pretty close to implementing this myself, for PAL DVDs at a 
bare minimum. Like Daniel I've got some badly mastered DVDs and it's not an 
acceptable solution to require users to force de-interlacing from the menu for 
these. It's pretty certain that commercial DVD players assume all content is 
interlaced since the spec (as I read it) doesn't allow for 480p or 576p.
