Another important feature > of EARL is that it can be used for exchanging data between tools. I agree with this as a good objective. Comparing results between tools won't be possible until there is a defined list of tests that the tools can reference. It is possible to reference issues by the WCAG guideline, but the actual tests occur at a much more fine-grained level (e.g. alt missing from an image that is in a link that contains other text is more specific than 'images must have alt'). Getting this list is very important, and difficult.
