The latest HDMI specification 1.4 is out today and one of the features is an HDMI Ethernet Channel among other things:
The HDMI Ethernet Channel will allow an Internet-enabled HDMI device to share its Internet connection with other HDMI devices without the need for a separate Ethernet cable. The new feature will also provide the connection platform to allow HDMI-enabled devices to share content between devices.
It looks like this means that if your HDTV is already networked via MoCA, then you can share this connection with your Bluray or Xbox through the HDMI cable. Other features specified include audio return channel, 3D capability, improved 4K x 2K resolution support, micro HDMI connector, and automotive connection system. The spec also includes options for 5 different HDMI cables, each supporting various combinations of data speeds and features.
