Hi Marco, EARL is now being produced by three or four accessibility testing tools - Page Valet, MUTAT, AccVerify/AccMonitor, and I think Insight or Infocus. So testing is about working out how to store EARL and whether what we have now is enough to start making tools work together. The really useful thing is not just to have information about whether a page passes WCAG (although that is a start - a service like ableFish which is a serach engine that ranks results also by accessibility testing would probably be happier if there were more EARL around for it to read) but to be able to take information from a variety of sources and use it to repair a page - perhaps even by producing a proxy transformation that fixes the original page. (The really really useful thing is that it should help people build processes to make sure they don't make any more inaccessible pages, but small stetps are better than none).
