This is a noble goal — letting the user and site publisher know what data is collected — however, I don't see what the benefit is to the ad providers or data collectors on the sites, other than that they might possibly be able to simplify their Javascript and reduce the load time in pages with that use their scripts.

Am I missing something? Unless consumers start demanding to know what information is collected about them, I don't think that the benefits jsHub has for ad providers are important, and that they won't implement a plugin until they're pushed by some other forces. In other words: the merit of technical innovation isn't enough for them to change their behavior, and they need a bigger incentive in order to consider using jsHub at all.
