Interesting. Rather than a coin resulting from the block chain you get the right to inject advertising. I'm not sure that will work as well (but partly just because it doesn't inspire me to mine), but it's an interesting avenue.
"Developers must not implement hiding of spam messages"...I can't see that working out at all. Namecoin's solution of just paying currency to the miners seems safer.
Agreed. I haven't looked hard enough to know, but is it possible you could trade this opportunity for coin elsewhere? Still, the fact that it relies on good will on the client's part is really problematic. But it is good that people are experimenting with different rewards even so, I think.
Article states: "Developers must not implement hiding of spam messages as a “feature” of their clients since this incentive is important to the security of the entire network."
So what exactly is going to stop them implementing an adblock add-on?

Lots of other interesting ideas here though.
