That may evolve to 'who profits/bills for testing services'.
It can be a profitable business. In the US, we try to punt
these activities off to NIST. In a global market, I don't
know who gets to bell the cat (approve the allocation of
the test mark). Although the W3C would be the authoritative
owner, nothing says they can't delegate the testing.

Yes. It would also be useful if those tests were used to develop
W3C-sanctioned test marks, so the marketplace would have some way to
tell, except by painful experience, which products actually implement
the recommendations.
