I believe it is optimized for digital because of the coatings. A digital sensor is very reflective compared to film, so digital cameras are very sensitive to reflection in the lenses. This was one of the problems with the new 24-105/4 lens, because there was one place in the lens that was not painted black, hence caused some flair.
As far as I know the only thing new with the Hoya Digital filters is a more optimized anti-reflective coating. How real or hyped this is I don't know, it may be the same as the Super-HMC version.
