While I do like the idea, I agree with Jim here. How about this: 

Instead of serving JavaScript/JSONP, serving an image directly would make it
more compatible with some users' browser settings. A plain link to check.tp.o
or something similiar (geared more towards explaining what this is about
perhaps, instead of a simple check) could deal with the rest.

I just woke up but I'll submit a patch in a bit.

Michael
