Esperanto "-ind" connotes "passive obligation", while "-end" connotes
"worthiness".

Given Alex's description of "demonstrandum", and Konrad's original
translation, "pruvenda" would appear to be the better choice.  

Were it "pruvinda", QED would mean "that which was worth proving"
(implying perhaps that the original hypothesis actually had merit). 
That Esperanto can be learned well without immersion may be worth
proving, but it seems QED itself does not carry that connotation.
