Mozilla introduced "Privacy Icons" (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Privacy_Icons) a few months ago, which seems to have the same goals.

The main problem I see is that if these icons are just opt in, why would a company use them if it wasn't respecting a user's privacy? It would be similar to a website having a badge that proudly says "Invalid XHTML".

P3P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P) tries to address a similar problem but in a machine-readable way.
