Go plough my friend :-)

  As usual,
this means I might create something that no one likes. What I'd prefer
to define is the *minimum* required keys in the YAML diagnostics and
perhaps an optional set of *may have* keys (which might be optionally
enabled for deeper debugging).

Minimum required:

  wanted
  found
  line
  file
  description

I'm uncomfortable with any "minimum" to be honest. I'd be happier with "recommended".

For example I write customer-facing tests that read like is_member_status_pending_after_failed_registration() that just return boolean results (and some useful diagnostic text) - does having "wanted: true, found: false" help for these?

Do line numbers and files make sense when I'm generating my tests from a bunch 'o' spreadsheets?

Since TAP currently allows empty descriptions - does it make sense to force a

        description: ''

line out?
