Pretty much everyone that knows how to code Javascript well enough to even use objects knows this convention. I've been building big web applications in a team environment for about 7 years and have worked with dozens and dozens of other programmers and I have never had a scernario so complex that required several reusable Javascript objects that were shared outside of the problem I was solving. So, I could see this convention being applicable to common libraries and frameworks developed by a community of programmers, but as far as internal projects developed by small team, a simple underscore is sufficient.
