Hi Alistair,
There is currently no group working on EARL. The Evaluation and Repair
Tools Working Group (ERT WG) was closed.
Can you make a proposal for the "pseudo selector" and circulate it on
this list? If there is agreement in this group, then we can just write
it up somewhere and start using it. If it proves useful, then we could
look into standardizing this more formally. This could be an existing
W3C group, such as CSS, or another, depending on the how it gets used
within and beyond the accessibility community.
Best,
Shadi
