I am curios as to your reasoning behind turning on html_errors by default, why 
would the tests need HTML data?
Logging of errors occurred during the tests seems pointless to me. As I've 
mentioned before if a test needs to check if a certain type of error is 
generated the track_errors & $php_errormsg facility can be used to capture 
this error reliably. Logging of errors is unreliable since the actual error 
message can go anywhere, stderr,syslog, user specified file, etc... It is 
highly likely that you may not even see the error message because it is not 
sent to stderr. Data sent to the error log is also 'variable', because it 
contains fluid data which different from system to system due to file paths, 
so we must do all kinds of hackery if we are to use it when confirming the 
output of a test.
I for one, would like to see that setting go away.

P.S. The recent change to ini settings broken 9 tests, which worked fine prior 
to your change.
