Validator EARL shows traces of an RDF learning curve: XML striping is suppressed for no obvious reason, and overuse of rdf:parsetype="Resource" generates huge numbers of bnodes. Looking at the report generated by a page with a small number of errors (http://valet.webthing.com/invalid.html) I can't make too much sense of the picture generated by the RDF validator from the HTML validator report. I attach a patch to generate a compact but meaningful EARL report. I'm not quite sure how it'll go down with the EARL folks, but IMO it's worth putting to them. Rationale: (1) Validator asserts that {page} passes or fails {valid HTML} That is one assertion - no problem. (2) For the individual error messages, I've minimised the Subjects and Objects, on the grounds that they are known to be {points within the page} and {violations of the HTML standard} respectively. Not quite sure whether everyone will be happy with the minimisation, but it looks nice to me! -- Nick Kew
