Earlier quoted context omitted.

Doesn't that slow down and/or break a bunch of sites?

You should get an immediate Connection Refused if there's no one listening on 80/443.

That still may break sites if the variables that ga.js defines are used outside of a try/catch.

I'd really like cookie sequestration to be a standard browser feature. By sequestered, I mean that cookies be bound to the domain in the address bar as well as the URL they are served from. So I would have different versions of the Google analytics cookie for every domain I visited.

GA already works that way.

Yes, but I'm thinking of the Facebook Like beacon.
