I'm not sure, and I'm similarly not sure just what the benefits of a LSB 
compatible script are here given that several major distributions like 
RHEL/Debian have their own thing they're doing and are unlikely to change. 
Given that there was recent chatter on removing the Linux init scripts 
altogether, I think that the first thing to do here is survey where the 
current script and a LSB-based one might fit into current/future Linux 
init script plans on the most popular platforms.  Your code is interesting 
but I'm not sure what problem it's intended to solve yet.
