Sounds good. This is the format for test results. Raw data. And I
think it would be a good idea to have reusable data under this form,
but part of my questions was on the after…

Hmm I see I have not been clear enough about what I meant by common
format. My bad. I meant common layout. There is a time to evaluate if
the technology (guidelines, markup, etc) has been implemented with
minimal but enough guarantees. How do we present this information?
In the end, there are human reading a report and having access to an
information which is very diverse in terms of taxonomy, of type of
informations, and visual layouts. Often I receive questions from WGs
asking me what should we put in the Implementation reports, How
should we present it? Basically I think one of the hidden questions
on this is "What are the expectations of Director and QA for
transition calls on CR?".
Another hidden question is "How the director and QA evaluate if the
criteria have been met without breakage?"
