EARl for validators

Yves Lafon wrote the following (in aprivate discussion, for which he has
given permission to publish)

In EARL, I didn't see a way to say "I did not validate because of those
errors" and warnings, unless you say there is only one test. It seems to
be targeted at test suites instead of syntax validators (unless you want
an explosion of statements like "it pass the test that this property can
be used in that context" "the value is a proper value of this property"
and so on.
See
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all&output=application%2Fsoap%2Bxml
for the current format in SOAP (not complete yet, but you can try with a
page that has errors or warnings).

The URI he provided gives:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">

    <m:cssvalidationresponse
