The particular technique you are referring to (H37) seems to be incomplete and a test procedure is still not provided. If you look at the next one below (H39), you will find an example of how a complete test procedure could look like. > Maybe I didn't search well, ... is there any attempt to provide > evaluation tests procedures (beyond sample tests)?

Most would probably agree that the test procedure must be unambiguous. For example "every IMG element must have an ALT attribute" could be such a testable statement. However, in the past there has been no consensus on providing such statements in XSLT. The primary reasons were that XSLT has significant limitation for other types of statements (for example regarding the content of the ALT attribute etc), that XSLT is less easy to read by day-to-day Web developers, and that there is no particular reason for preferring XSLT over another language. However, I do recall some discussion about using pseudo code (as the MWI folks did) in the test procedures but am not sure how WCAG WG will decide on this.
