crystalhd is a volatile world right now. Many things being worked on. However, the crystalhd can and does provide hardware acceleration of video decode. Getting that to sing right with XBMC is the game we are playing. It's not easy or it would be done, there are many, many variables in play.
Nothing that I have seen even suggests that this work is a dead end, in fact right now XBMC is the only open source player (except for ArchDVD) that can do anything with the crystalhd. There are maybe two-threee devs working on it and more will follow.
So bottom line, chill. we know all about the issues and are working on them. Remember, I don't work 24/7 on XBMC, I have a real job and that takes priority.
