Re: About tests 37-41 (headers) *wkey

Schematron or XSLT/XQuery rules can be applied to HTML documents if a HTML 
parser (instead of a XML parser) is being used. For instance, my 
XSLT-based Web Accessibility evaluator [1] can be applied to HTML pages 
that are not XHTML (see the extended interface).

So, my question is: wouldn't be nice to provide formalized expressions 
(based on Schematron or XSLT templates) in the WCAG 2.0 HTML Techniques 
draft? Web developers would have objective and formalized tests instead of 
just subjective prose. Examples are good, but not enough.
