Brightcolours, if your suggestion is only related to sites/organizations and not private users, and if these sites/organizations don't plan to display the on-screen difference to visitors, (like dpreview or imaging-resource do), then I guess your suggestion may have merit. A few additional questions:
1. Is there any site/organization that successfully carried out such tests, or is this suggestion only based on theory?
2. What print size do you believe would be sufficient to demonstrate the differences between today's 16-24 MP cameras?
3. Aside from resolution and noise, how would you use prints to measure tonal range, dynamic range and color depth? These specific parameters are limited by the printers to a greater extent than the theoretical limit placed by the file bit-depth itself.
