I don't think anyone has considered trying to carry an MPEG transport
stream over IP as you suggest here.
DSM-CC is transport-independent, so if that is your main concern, you
should simply send the UN messages via IP and not first on MPEG-TS.
The high level questions about how to accomplish integration of Web and TV
is a broad, complex question, currently answered differently depending on
what environment you are in. For example, it is different on cable than on
DBS, etc, and also varies between countries. You would need to refer to
the appropriate TV transport standards organizations depending on
where/what you are trying to solve this.
