Digtal ND Filters. Any difference?

Other than the name, is there any real difference between a "Digital" ND filter and a regular ordinary ND filter?
ND filters don't "smart" enough to know which camera is film and which one is digital camera. That's a hype which manufactures making it up to tout and sell their newer products.

Certainly, the ND and CP filters with multi-coating give pictures more clear and more neutral in color (not grayish). They can control flare and color rending better than those filters with single-coat or with no coat at all. The differences also come from materials to make glass of the filters. If a filter is good for film cameras, it's good for digital cameras too.

That's what I thought. Although Hoya puts their "Digital" ND filters in very fancy hi-tech packaging. Maybe that's the difference.
