As I recall, we've hit the same problem with another module (POE?) and I'm thinking that extending the TAP grammar here might be the key. Specifically, consider this: 1..0 # SKIP some reason The '1..0' is 'skip all' and the 'SKIP' is redundant except that it allows us an easy way to provide a parseable skip reason. Perhaps we should allow comments on the plan? That allows the above to be 'skip all', doesn't give us a reason, but still parses. Any version of TAP with the TAP version embedded would be assumed to be more strict?
