Louay - thanks for the clarification.

Based on your explanation, it seems the HbbTV specification does not allow web content from an arbitrary URL to be presented on a second screen (or Companion Screen in HbbTV's parlance), and as such, does not motivate changes to the Presentation API.

Louay - do you know if a future version of the HbbTV spec is planned, and whether it would be reasonable to expect such a feature to be in scope for the spec in the future?

W3C has a formal liaison relationship with HbbTV [1], should the group prefer to convey feedback to HbbTV formally. Francois can probably briefly outline the process.

Thanks,

-Anssi (WG chair)
