Yes, GRDDL.py's EARL output *should* be N/A's for those but isn't now
primarily because aboutTest.xsl doesn't compute an indication that
non-maximal results (for tests with multiple output) are 'alternatives'
to each other.  Also testft.py is currently driven primarily by these
indications.  But yes, the language of the text in these tests suggests
(strongly) that this is 'passed' by at least two implementations:

[[[
..In particular, this interpretation and the text in the section that
follows (8. Security considerations) permits an implementation to only
pass the first test due to security restrictions against computing
recursive GRDDL results.
