perhaps not.  maybe we need a mechanism to report such errors to 
advertisers who buy space on web pages.  :) 

the point is, right now there's essentially no feedback from the
user/browser to the server at all.  if browsers were to provide 
some, then at least the servers would have the option of looking 
at it.  whether they would find it worth their while - in terms of
increased effectiveness, ad money, lowered server/network overhead, 
customer satisfaction, etc. - would be TBD.
