I think we were really thinking more of an 'interoperability test' than an 'interoperability demonstration'. The goal is 'figure out whether people's HTTP/1.1 implementations work with each other, and if not, what's wrong'. A secondary goal is 'document interoperable use of each HTTP/1.1 feature with independent implementations', in order for us to move to 'draft standard' status. That means that a checklist going down HTTP/1.1 headers and seeing if they're emitted, responded to correctly, etc., in various combinations would be a good idea. I think it's important that organizations be able to test implementations anonymously, so that there's no press leakage or story telling.
