Yes, just like earl:Software or dctype:Software.

Why don't do TestSubjects do anything? A Web applications also do something...

More importantly, imagine a browser that is being tested to comply with UAAG or an authoring tool being tested against ATAG. These are all examples of things that do stuff and that may be a test subject in a specific context. Right now we are restricted to earl:Software only (or dctype:Software if we decide to swap).
