That doesn't answer the question. Does ASP correspond directly to the
currently implemented/used stuff, or not? If it does, I think we
should make MP4V==ASP

And I really don't see people going back and implementing features of
an old standard that were essentially deemed mistakes by the userbase.
If people eventually decide to try face/mesh/etc. crap in video
compression, they'll do it with a newer more efficient bitstream
format, not piggybacking it onto mpeg-4 asp implementations. And if
I'm wrong, the SHIT fourcc is still available it seems... :-)
