I think the closest you can get is using the closest id() which would be 
awkward to get out of the XPointer.

One of the pointer types is "anchor" and I was anticipating it would be 
that kind of pointer that would be used in the human report.  If that kind 
of pointer isn't available for a test, perhaps just show the XPointer in 
clear text?

No, I think the human report should just get the "anchor"-typed pointers.

Yes.

Yes.

Interesting question.  I guess it depends on what the lab wants to do with 
the machine readable report.

My gut feel is that it should be the entire suite with only the 
inapplicable tests removed from the catalogue.

Any comments from anyone else?

Thanks, Carmelo!
