Andy,
Thank you for your feedback and your work in this group.
The proposal was originally written to address a user experience problem. Indeed, the RadioTAG authentication mechanism requires the user to register and pair his device with each channel(or group of channels) he wants to use which is in our point of view a non-negligible problem. Therefore, if the user is required to enter his credentials once and only once, we assumed that entering an email address and a password would be interesting because we could get rid of the portal and the second device needed to pair the device.
Concerning your first comment, you are absolutely right and this is not only a technical but political question too which is still open and we are currently working at EBU to create a framework to shortly investigate these questions.
Finally, as you mentioned, we plan to extend this Single Sign-On concept to other platforms such as TV or websites.
Hope it answers your questions,
Looking forward for other reactions,
Michael
