I think these two ideas are related. We may have multiple results with 
different confidence levels. For example:

<!-- fails with a low confidence -->
<earl:result rdf:parseType="Resource">
<earl:validity 
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#fail"/>
<earl:confidence 
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#low"/>
</earl:result>

<!-- passes with a confidence level of nils.5 -->
<earl:result rdf:parseType="Resource">
<earl:validity 
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#pass"/>
<earl:confidence rdf:resource="http://nils/.5"/>
</earl:result>

I agree that the confidence level should be optional. I think we should 
allow for multiple types of confidence.

Chris
