It's just 1) I don't understand it very well yet so I'm not comfortable implementing it or using it; 2) it looks to not be finished or stable yet; 3) it seems to my untrained eye to be a bit of an Ivory Tower Toy at the moment and I'd like to see it evaluated from a practical perspective before investing too much time in getting it running. I'm watching the WAI lists for EARL developments with an eye to implementing it in the Validator and there's plenty of preparatory work that can be done to make it easier to add EARL later; to whiz: XML Output.
