I definitely like the new layout.

I am not sure if it has been mentioned, but I personally would find it useful 
to include details on the results.

For instance, considering a check that ensures all libraries meet certain 
permissions, it would be useful to identify all entries that are non-compliant, 
if failed.

The SCC scanner does this, sort of. Well it lists every item verified, which in 
some cases can make it difficult to identify just the failed items (needle in 
the haystack).

In some cases, the simplicity of the result details in OpenSCAP reports are 
desirable. In other cases, the verbosity in the SCC reports are useful.

It would be ideal if OpenSCAP could offer both.

More specifically, it would be ideal if an option could be specified when 
generating the report to dictate the verbosity of the report details.

I would consider the following three verbosity levels most useful:

LOW - No details, just the overall outcome for each check (the current OpenSCAP 
report scheme).

MEDIUM - Includes all (and only) failed items for each check that fails.

HIGH - Includes all items verified (both pass and fail items) for every check.

A new blog post with more progress on the HTML report redesign. Things are 
shaping up in rule overview, I will focus on result details next.
