http://www.jsnice.org/ can do that – giving everything meaningful names, checking types, etc.

It can't give "meaningful names" without real context, which it doesn't have. Slightly longer names that are easier to read? Sure.

Here's part of google homepage js thrown at it (In reality tossed a whole file, but pastebin wont fit it all for free). It's still entirely unreadable.

If it can infer most of it from OSS? Sure. But big web apps do a lot more.
