Indieweb comment XSS security testing utility
A tool could be made which, given the URL of a post, sends it a webmention with a bunch of XSS attacks in. Each attack, if successful, does a console.log
call with the name of the vulnerability and a URL with instructions on how to prevent it.

Further work on actually defining XSS attacks and test documents can be found http://indiewebcamp.com/xss
https://checkmention.appspot.com/ already implements some of this rather nicely, link to that at least as a stopgap.
