I think the voltage changes quite a lot with speed (not as much as an old fashioned dynamo which is why they were replaced) and thats why the headlights get brighter if you increase the revs from idle.
Also I think the volts do drop with load where the load is made up of real load (lights, heated gloves etc) and the artificial controlling load of the R/R shorting the alternator via its transistors....
