I think we indeed need lots of testing tools - like debugging 
hosts/plugins spiked with lots of pre/postcondition checks, or even some 
validity checking libraries that could be easily inserted (#ifdef'ed) 
into "real" hosts/plugins, to check plugin/host behaviour in "real world".

I recall what incomplete/buggy standard implementations did in Buzz and 
VST worlds, and it'd be nice to have some tools to prevent repeating the 
same nightmare.

As for "who will write it", I guess it can't be a single-person project, 
because just one person is unlikely to come up with *all* the useful 
checks (and it would be incredibly boring anyway).
