I'm sorry, you're misunderstanding me. I'm not talking about 
evaluations, I'm talking about site-based conformance claims and scope. 
There are remaining questions in WCAG, such as what constitutes a 
resource, which need to be resolved before EARL becomes an obvious 
solution to the WG. That's going to require coordination between WCAG, 
ER, and our SemWeb friends. "Use EARL" is not a sufficient answer to 
this problem.
