IMO those who could be interested in EARL are mainly people who are
involved in testing process.

If they are involved in testing process they are used to the usual
testing wording and terminology (Requirements, Test Cases, Results,
etc.), so probably they are quite sure about what requirements and test
cases are and they are aware about the differences between them.

The problem could be the introduction of new terminology which is not
the usual one, or even worse, change the common accepted meaning of
usual terminology.

IMO again, EARL should use the usual testing terminology as far as
possible, and should use it to refer what it is supposed to mean
(Requirements for requirements, Test Cases for the testing process,
etc.)
