David, Ted, I'm not here to pick fights. . .but. . . :P

I dont know. Its sounds cool and you know advertisers would love to  
know if a commercial was watched. This can be done easily with adding  
an href track to the video at a certain time interval. You can ping a  
count to your server at any time in the video. Easy:

However, there is a privacy/rights issue. I dont tend to have  
problems with these personally just because I dont consider my  
activity to be felonious and I'm not easily embarrassed, but! I side  
with keeping it private for the sake of other related human rights  
issues. The last thing we need is more big brother government  
officials taking matters into their own hands without any legal  
constraints.

Cheers,
Andrew
