I think it would definitely be cool if they would upscale DS to HD (is that possible?), however I'm afraid that 3DS support may cut into 3DS sales. So if they do make an add-on like this, they should probably just leave it a DS.
It's possible that DS games could be slightly upscaled, but I'm pretty sure that they couldn't be upscaled to HD.

Andy, I don't think you understand what upscale means. Upscale basically means stretching the image to fit the screen. It is impossible to be "upscaled to HD" and they won't be in HD for the same reason Wii games won't get a HD update. The reason why the Super Game Boy was so brilliant because it was a sort of HD upgrade at the time, it gave the Gameboy color upgrade and some games had extra assets in the data to upgrade sprites to better ones. This cannot be used with the 3DS or DS, mainly because it can only be done with a few games due to how the game is made and extra size on the cart and because it'd cannibalize the sales of the DS and 3DS.
The amount of times games have been ripped apart, people would notice if there were extra upgraded assets in the game, so they won't be upgraded for the Wii U so there wouldn't be much point, because the upscaling from such a small screen to the massive TVs most people have these days would make the 3D models look ugly.

My thoughts exactly AMACI doubt that the Wii U would have something like this if I'm honest. DS/3DS games are designed for much smaller screens than a TV, so they wouldn't look great on a bigger screen. Another problem would be that 3DS games would be in 2D. Very few people own 3D TVs at the moment, and they use different technology, so I don't know if they would support 3DS games.
Games that refuse to use Gameplay effectively to do anything are like films that refuse to use cinematography in film to do anything.
