As CarlosI already pointed out, I mixed up options A and B for B and C 
respectively. Apologies for the confusion.

So if we would adopt option B, each test sample would have exactly one 
occurrence of the location element and the metadata would look something 
like this:

<locations>
   <location>
     <technique ... />
     <earl:xPointer ... />
     <earl:htmlPointer ... />
     <!-- more earl pointers -->
     ...
   </location>
</locations>

Is that what you mean?

Can you give an example of option A just to compare?
