I think a TOS validation test suite TSR is a really good idea.
The part about not having the TOS private variables there
while the program is running is tricky because of the TOS
interrupt handlers.  Also only Atari knows for sure where
these variables are, so only Atari could "really" do this part
correctly.

I have a system call profiler which I use to see what system
calls a program uses, which could be the start of such a
program, if anyone is interested in running with this idea.

I like it.
