The watermarking is added as an option to the spec on request by the record labels representatives.Eventually they will use it for sacd as well.

They havn't so far.... rememeber, SACD can't be recorded at home and is a protected media. Now your grasping at straws.
It's a logical assumption.Philips demonstrated watermarking technology so it's there.
There are additional 'features' possible with watermarking.
-Tracking pre-release copy's leaking out of studio's.
-Royalty gathering from airplay.
-Control over (future) digital recording devices that read the
watermark.
