You might want to, instead of mailing the list once a month, create an 
entry in the Wishlist on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ for the IPTV 
support, then make that a Wiki link to a page about the IPTV standards 
and include your research.  Then it will be accessible to anyone 
desiring the information and someone wanting to code it will have it.  
Otherwise, as you mail the list, it seems to simply take up bandwidth 
for idle musing and wishing for features that generate comments like 
"show me the code"
