One issue we covered at the Hackathon was how to do nested TAP. The suggestion that was adopted was not backwards-compatible, but it was felt this was OK because the TAP consumer specifically had to request this.
I hated this decision, but was hard-pressed to argue against it because making things backwards-compatible seemed to involve putting a full-blown parser into the TAP producer. (In other words, sort of like embedding Test::Harness into Test::Builder). I *think* I've figured out how to make things backwards-compatible and not require a parser.
