With the recent talk about the UCD1+ list not conforming to the UCD  
specification, I am prompted to wonder whether anyone is working on a  
UCD verifier - or perhaps one already exists?  It seems to me that a  
tool would be very useful for verifying that a single token is a  
conforming UCD and that a list of same avoids various classes of name  
collisions and other errors.  This will help individuals who want to  
suggest new UCDs as well as projects who may be developing their own  
namespaces.
