:-) I admit I took the usual approach of “oh but all this is untestable,

better, using Guile’s web server for instance.  I’ll see what I can do.

Glad you propose; I thought about it too.

Definitely.  Either that or create an HTML page listing all the defects.
That would mean adding HTML output to ‘guix lint’, which is a bit of
work, but not too hard, I think.
