One Option that come to mind is that a Browser  Vendor registers itself as organization 
and the Browser as Application on dvbservices.com . In this case the orgId and appId will 
be constant for all Presentation API requests made by the Browser.  But this needs more 
investigation.

[Louay] 
HbbTV 2.0 was released in this month, HbbTV 1.5 in 2012 and HbbTV 1.0 in 2010.
Maybe next release will be in 2-3 years (this is my personal prediction based on 
the release history). I am not sure If this feature will  be in scope in future releases.
