There is an earl:message property that would allow adding such an explanation. Real tools and people test against a number of sub-criteria - if I had a lot of time I could add stuff so that you could have degrees of failed, and finer grained information as well as just a message. I'll put the emssage bit on the todo list - anyne else is welcome to hack further, of course... cheers Chaals On Thu, 3 Jul 2003, Shadi Abou-Zahra wrote: > >what i would miss in such a report is some reasoning why a certain >checkpoint failed. but again, i guess this information might only be >interesting for site developers. > >it would be great if the validation tools could provide such a complete >and consistent report of the conducted tests... > >best, > shadi > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: w3c-wai-er-ig-request@w3.org >> [mailto:w3c-wai-er-ig-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Charles >> McCathieNevile >> Sent: Mittwoch, 02.
