There is always alert(document.compatMode), although it is admittedly only
helpful when you already suspect something like that.

This is very true. In some similar cases, this can even lead to security bugs,
so it is particularly important to handle invisible characters to the letter of
the spec, so that all browsers and security filters agree on the same behavior.
