Or even levels of keywords debug/info/notice/warning/ > err/crit/alert/emerg (stolen from syslog.h). That's an interesting idea. My worry is making it human readable. not ok 2 err Test failed in foo.t line 2 err got: foo err expected: bar ok 3 It doesn't leap out at you the way something like this does. not ok 2 !!! Test failed in foo.t line 2 !!! got: foo !!! expected: bar ok 3 > Oh, and "yaml" if that idea lives. The TAP diagnostic syntax is largely orthogonal to this although it makes most uses of displayed diagnostics obsolete.
