Why are you saying repair is not core? Personally speaking at least, I think it's an important part of EARL. For example, if I'm evaluating a web page, and I see some poorly worded ALT text, I'd certainly want to have a way to suggest better ALT text. And once I do that, the output can be used for repair. Repair has been in the user scenarios for months... e.g. see the part starting at http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/earl.html#evaluation .
