There's already a proposal for this which nobody's found serious
fault with.
Its, oh, 9 months old now. Its backwards compatible with existing
TAP. It
both solves the problems of associating diagnostics with a specific
test and
making them machine parsable. I'm perfectly happy to accept
patches for
Test::Builder to support this as an experimental feature.
That looks pretty usable. I wonder if it might be better to package
those YAMLish annotations as a special kind of diagnostic

That would mean that the annotations would show up even with a
current generation harness /and/ that any leakage from the test
script to STDOUT that matched /^\w+:/ wouldn't be confused with
annotation.
