Web bugs for statistical data are a legitimate want but potentially a horrible privacy violation.

So I asked on wikitech-l, and the obvious answer appears to be to do it internally. Something like http://stats.grok.se/ only more so.

What do people actually want to see from the traffic data? Do they want referrers, anonymized user trails, or what?
