Updated with the following spells:

Spoiler

I have elected not to include support for the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting, which is exclusively 3.0, and the Dragonlance Campaign Setting, for which I only have the Dragonlance Campaign Setting book (and no knowledge of other support), which I have already completed.

For all intents and purposes, this completes the list unless people give me new ideas for spells or arguments to have existing ones taken down (I'm expecting certain Wall of spells and weapon enhancement spells to be points of contention, as well as requests for the inclusion of more Cloud/Fog spells).

Luckily, in most cases the spells will be grouped together for easy referencing. I just wish for your sake that there existed some central list of every spell ever published by WotC. From their perspective, they consider the SpC to be the omega to the PHB's alpha.

What concerns me about that was this:

To be introduced in future updates:
- Page numbers, for reference

"Wouldn't it be nice" list:
- "Errata" text for each individual spell (specifying restrictions and what-have-you; this may be an impossibly, or at least unnecessarily, large task)
- Original sources for each spell, as opposed to Spell Compendium or other compilations the spells arrive in

The list now includes 157 spells, most of which need errata text (to the effect of "this spell can be made permanent", and clauses for what happens if certain spells are counteracted, like Consecrate/Desecrate), page numbers, and (if I'm feeling particularly brave) original sources. Certainly a daunting task!

I would like to see a universal database for spells, not unlike the one for feats. That way I have something to at least make page numbers and original sources easier for me.
