Yes, that seems fine. I get a bit messed up with Seth Russell's semEnglish
language, which he evolved from Notation3. There, you can use [] for almost
anything, depending upon the amount of elements inside. For example, one
element is a URI, two is (p,o), three is a triple, and so on.

Very true, and that's more of the tool thing "what does this triple point
to?". It may be a site, or it may be another triple, or whatever. The
vocabulary is the bit that will be defined in the main language, it is the
bit that is "EARL". The rest is simply RDF M&S, so there are already many
ways to apply it, and lots of processors. This is one of the great
advanages of using RDF.

It may be that people will be needing to create their own EARL-type
vocabularies: e.g. one for repair tools, one for editors, and so on. I
think in that way it should be a modular specification... CSS and XHTML
have both benefited enourmously from modularization. It's something to
consider when we develop EARL for real.
