Two problems I see with running these examples in a single large block
1. I'm not sure how to collect all of the results, both of the two
options that occur to me
- mapping over each example and evaluating the first code block or
- exporting to some backend and checking the resulting export file
would either leave out some results or possibly be very brittle to
small changes (e.g., changes in the exporter backend)
2. executing the whole set would require a wide range of languages be
installed on the users system many of which most people would never
use

I do agree that this collection holds great promise as fodder for Babel
unit tests (unit tests which are sorely needed). Each example could be
wrapped in an ert test method and then one-by-one copied over into the
Org-mode test suite. This should be a fairly easy way to greatly
increase Babel's test suite coverage -- and most importantly it would be
explicitly testing topics that have arisen previously on the mailing
list so are of importance to users.

That's a good idea. Simply running the Org-mode test suite is a good
way for users to test the sanity of their local config.
