Yeah, I'm not even suggesting that Nielsen would use this data for
anything.  I'm just thinking that if it were open source, maintained
with user selectable levels of anonymity, and abuse mitigated based on
something like a hash of a labs.zap2it login.  I think the data could
be reasonably reliable.  Not something to base ratings on, but useful
for social projects, and useful to DataDirect as a complement to their
survey.
