Okay, one heretic question. Is it possible clever mine to start mining/trading scrypt-n/scrypt-jane and thus do a better profitability. May be it is too early for such step, there are not a lot of those coins.

Dont think so. Because then how will he check who is using ACIS miners?

Couldn't you just put a scrypt-n switcher stratum on another port? ASICs/scrypt miners could have :3333 while scrypt-n is :3334, etc.

If "cleverining" is possible on scrypt-n coins then this will help a lot.

the short answer is NO - in order to mine other algorithms beside scrypt, cgminer or another program needs to actually initiate with that mining protocol. Clever mining simply gives/receives scrypt hashes that can be applied to whatever the coin is at the time.

The stratum proxy CANNOT direct cgminer to switch algorithms at this point in time. To do so would almost certainly require an advanced command to modify the configuration file from 'scrypt' to 'n-scrypt' followed by a quit/restart command. Cgminer does not allow that and it should never allow that IMO as it would create a massive backdoor for stratum/pool to modify files on your computer and issue program commands

If you thought being forced into some other pool was a terrible attack, imagine if your cgminer was fed instructions to modify its .conf file to overclock/overvolt your GPU way past limits and re-initiate.

The idea is to use one engine for scrypt coins and another for scrypt-n. Everybody decides where to mine depening on the profitability.
