Hmm, interesting.  My parser handled that just fine.

:P

The point isn't that the output comes before or after the test result.  The 
point is that the parser should not merely discard the comments.  The harness 
is free to discard those comments, which, in fact, is what Test::Harness does.

 What your test did show me is that my t/10-regression.t is tied too tightly to 
Test::Simple output.  As a result, my tests need to be reworked to not be tied 
to a specific implementation.
 
Don't get me wrong, I understand your points about not relying on this output 
and I'm not trying to be difficult!  The reason I have a sense of urgency about 
this is twofold:

1.  I'm working on this *now* and I don't want to lose momentum.
2.  So many people have contacted me to let me know they want to use 
TAPx::Parser.

There's a crying need for better testing tools and I think we're on the verge 
of getting them.

That being said, your parents are in town.  You shouldn't be reading this list 
right now :)

Cheers,
Ovid
