I like the idea, but not the URL. How about moving it to "/.well-known/monitors.txt" in conformance with RFC 5785?

Thanks for this, looks like a step in the right direction, do you know what successful applications there have been to this RFC?

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5785

The biggest one I know if is "host-meta" (RFC 6415), which is used by webfinger (properly supported by gmail), and a few other "social"-type protocols.
