On the basis of available data from HERMES we test the practical usefulness of one such ``Wandzura-Wilczek-type approximation'', namely of that connecting h_{1L}^{\perp(1)a}(x) to h_L^a(x), and discuss how it can be further tested by future CLAS and COMPASS data.9 pages, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyAre there approximate relations among transverse momentum dependent distribution functions?text
