Anyways, back on topic, if you want you can use
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver
and in particular:
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities
(the server provides also WFS and WCS services, with a few layers
WFS-T editable)

The set of layers is still a bit messy but I'm planning to publish
at least the ThematicMapping.org country layer and maybe later during
the month the natural earth dataset.


Cheers
Andrea
