There is already work going on about that. 

John MacFarlane has created a very good tool for comparing the output of different processors.
http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/

And Ciro Santilli and I have a test suite with a report showing the discrepancies and common features. The goal was to start through a test suite and what was deployed in the wild for eventually writing a spec (not mandatory).

https://github.com/karlcow/markdown-testsuite/blob/master/markdown-spec.html

We could certainly improve the output if there is interest.
