  You’re seeking a technical solution to a social problem. There have been a number of attempts at very similar things; they always fail because practically no one is interested in putting in the effort required, if they even know about it.

    > no one is interested in putting in the effort required, if they even know about it There is a sizeable web subculture with a focus on an accessible, sustainable, semantic, open standards etc. web with different flavors. When you browse sites, read blogs etc. that typically load fast, have a nerd feeling to them and prominently display RSS and some of the more niche open web stuff, then you might be visiting a site of someone who would implement such a feature with a blink of an eye.

      It’s the sort of feature that is fairly useless unless it gains very widespread adoption, and also often quite nebulous about how it should be used. My feeling is also that the sorts of people most likely to be willing to implement this kind of thing unprompted are likely to be producing content that can benefit from such stuff less than average. Also, to repeat, there have been specs for this kind of thing in the past. They haven’t gone anywhere despite significant interest and investment. Granted, some were probably hampered by being unnecessarily complicated, but basically no one used them. (Examples: PICS, in in a couple of slightly different veins but conceptually similar, Schema.org’s contentRating property, and P3P.)
