He did say he wasn't going to use the granny-panties from the Lynda Carter costume.
And would we want him to?
He did clarify afterwards that he recognizes the traditional costume as something extremely important and intrinsic to the character, and he was committed to trying to come up with a version of that costume that works. But while the TV show costume design was very faithful to the costume, and quite revealing for it's day, it's a design that would look pretty ridiculous in 2006.
A design more authentic in terms of materials available to the Themyscirans, like lots of leather, and higher cut shorts (although a thong is far too revealing IMHO) or even a leather strap skirt (Think Roman Legionaire type) in colours less Day-Glo is a direction I'd suspect Whedon will take.
And in the end, I think he'll satisfy most of us.
