So it wouldn't be an automatic part of what the publisher already serves to real visitors to its site, but it would be a simple data collection mechanism that could be built relatively easily. What would make even more sense would be to have a third-party crawler that crawls many different sites to collect data about intermediaries (assuming they were all using the ad slug). Does that answer make sense?

There is a part where you talk about how if ad servers has a slug that surfaced information about the ad transaction then publishers could collect that data to understand better which ads are being served on their page and why. One thing I don't quite understand about this idea is that I thought JavaScript is restricted to accessing the HTML on another iframe. Can you explain on a technical level how what you suggest would be implemented? My email is in the reply box, but you can write a reply here too I will check as well.
