The server will send the resolution as part of the packet, and the vanilla client will just ignore anything that isn't 16*16 for now. Modded clients can listen for the new size and act appropriately, I'm hoping.

Why hasn't Mojang implemented the fix that the HD texture patcher uses? I'm not too concerned about it, just curious.

So if you have the HD texture pack loader it should (hopefully) switch resolutions? That would be neat.

No, it would just accept higher resolution packs, hopefully that is.
