It does seem odd that there doesn't seem to be any attempt to measure cables qualitavely, even by the obvious measures of resistance, inductance and capacitance for analogue cables. These may not have a particular use in terms of sound quality but I'm willing to bet at least one of those parameters can explain why, for instance, a cable may sound "dark" or "bright".
I buy electric guitar cables from time to time and have noticed the capacitance is increasingly being used by manufacturers as a guide to how it'll sound - low capacitance tends to increase harmonics which can sound quite pleasing.
