Regrettably, this is merely a gut feeling of mine. Think of the 'Result: PASS' we have at the end of our output now. That could go away. Because we would use TAP::Parser to parse the TAP. Also, with the discussion of nested TAP, this means that individual test results would get nested inside of the top level TAP. Slap on some diagnostic information about the test run and reading and writing TAP::Harness::Archive files (for example) becomes simpler.
