(Get the code!)
DRC is a bit of a hybrid. The main function is to test if the board meets fabrication and electrical tolerances. But it also has the List Unconnected feature, which wanders more into Netlist land.
And then we have various checks (like Test Footprints) in the Read Netlist dialog, which can provide the rest of the info, even if they aren't normally used that way.
So I think we have all the functionality, it's just not all presented in a coherent fashion.
We could add a "Strict Netlist" mode to DRC, which added in the rest of the checks, or perhaps a third button "Check Netlist".
Or we could move the "List Unconnected" feature *out* of DRC, and have a Schematic Checker or something which did the Unconnected stuff and the other Netlist stuff.
