Since noone has answered my question yet, here it is for anyone who's 
interested (the question was how do the new ST's generate 60Hz and 70Hz
video simultaneously): 

In fact they don't. The 70Hz monitor, if used, is detected and causes the
ST to generate the appropriate video signals. Otherwise 60 Hz (only) is
generated, at least I think this is what happens.
