Yes! This is just example code and should not be taken as final. I'm making 
suggestions so we have something to work with. This is very much open to 
change.

I'm suggesting that the earl:name property is used to describe the thing 
identified by the rdf:li items. In this example it's an image. I'm not sure 
that using the earl:name property is the correct element to use but there 
needs to be something. In my other example there were 2 things that need to 
be identified:
http://checker.atrc.utoronto.ca/test197-earl.html

The anchor around the image needs to be identified so that's in the 
earl:name element:
<rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
<earl:line>9</earl:line>
<earl:href>spending.html</earl:href>
<earl:xpath>/html/body/p/a</earl:xpath>
<earl:name>anchor</earl:name>
</rdf:li>

The image contained by the anchor is named using the earl:name element:
<rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
<earl:line>9</earl:line>
<earl:xpath>/html/body/p/a/img</earl:xpath>
<earl:name>image</earl:name>
<earl:alt>image</earl:alt>
<earl:src>more.gif</earl:src>
</rdf:li>

We need to include several chunks of information that describe the 
accessibility error and each of the chunks needs to be named. Does that make 
sense?

We need something other than xpath for when the document changes. I think 
the xpath used in the examples identifies the error as long as the document 
doesn't change. Your suggestion could also be used but I think it may break 
down on many of the more complex accessibility errors.
