Before we add any TAP extensions we need a way to identify what

TAP we're outputting. Discuss and implement.
Done. The supported syntax is as per that page. In the abs

there, too.
I've done a bit or work on the Wiki. The TAP proposals have been grouped
into ones that are considered worth implementing, ones that are still ideas
and ones that have been rejected / supplanted. Don't like the decisions I
