 From my point of view the question is not if the spec should or should not  
be centered on HTML5 (I think is a fact that IS centered on html5 and I  
doubt someone disagree).
The question is if it needs to be part of the title.

I know that for some people/communities the term TV can be confusing.
On the other end I notice that often also web based "video services" tend  
to use a TV-related terminology, e.g. they are often called (or call  
themselves) "web TVs". Another example is "YouTube".


Having read all the comments so far I still think the best compromise  
between different opinions is

"Web and TV profile"
Guidelines for integration of interactive video services in a  
browser-based environment

possible variation

"WebTV profile"
Guidelines for integration of interactive video services in a  
browser-based environment
