Nothing precludes it, but you're right -- it's unlikely to happen
with the
structure of the Perl 5, Perl 6, and Parrot TAP producers as it
exists now.

Hmm, good point, I was thinking just in terms of Perl (this *was*
posted to perl-qa after all). The cases I can think of are 1) a TAP
transformer that edits a stream, adding its own tags and 2) a TAP
aggregator that merges upstream results into single results (say, a
de-nester).
