It may be possible to offload some of this work onto an external "server
setup validator" tool, like the one that persona provided for folks
setting up on IdP:

That's an interesting idea. It might also be possible to configure Gecko (Necko, really) to be as restrictive as the Android stack we use. Neither approach would address the case when the server is configured fine and the device is not, however; which can vary, device by device. It might be that this is a useful thing to expose as a Fennec add-on SDK, though: can the background services stack GET this URL?

I think the Persona validator is awesome, but since service endpoints have an (intentionally!) very broad surface, it's not clear a general service validator has value.
