I haven't examined this yet enough, but for the background information I 
can say I have one device which needs this. There is tuner behind 
demodulator, but instead of normal I2C-gate switch, it is rather much 
likely repeater. All tuner commands are send to the demod which then 
writes those to the tuner.

DD = demod I2C addr
TT = tuner I2C addr
Bn = payload data

traditional I2C send to the tuner:
TT >> B0 B1 B2 ...

demod as repeater send to the tuner:
DD >> TT B0 B1 B2 ...
