EARL based self-contained regression tests?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

The suggested support for HTTP header and content could be used for an
EARL-based self-contained regression test for web content. I do not know
if this is a new use case for EARL?

Below is an example of a self contained EARL report, according to the
suggested format for embedding http request/response and HTML document
in EARL, that could be used for this.

To perform a regression test, one would have to re-assess the document
with the tool to be tested, and verify that the assertion result from
the accessibility assessment tool contained the assessment result in the
self-contained EARL.


The suggested format for embedding HTTP and content in RDF/EARL is here:
