This came out of a discussion from wai-ig, but I thought I'd post it here 
in light of the recent thread...

A test page somewhere consisting merely of a list with each code 
alongside a description of what the character ought to look like would be 
useful for checking compliance... in general, that sort of thing would be 
useful to resolve compliance issues.  Developers might go the little 
extra distance to be fully X-compliant rather than 'X-compliant!!!' if it 
was easy to point out that actually, they weren't....  test pages might 
be a plausible W3C activity.
