Nah; there's a guide published[1] which has all of them.

It's no different than the issues with verifying passports; you have to be familiar with what a valid passport from that country for that period of time looks like, and know how to read the MRZ code (assuming the country actually has it.) I imagine that we can arrange to have a copy of that or a similar book around for people to compare.
