The problem with doing that if that you have separate HTTPS startup latency for every separate ad provider, which on some sites seems to be half a dozen or more. If you can safely proxy advertising content, pages will load much faster.

If advertisers just can't live without Javascript, perhaps the W3C could standardize on a technique to sandbox scripts originating from the same domain, even running on the same page.
