Comment #17 on issue 688 by bryan.oakley: would like to be able to associate metadata with a test case
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=688

This is very disappointing.

Tags don't let me do arbitrary name/value pairs, it only lets me add microformat tags that have to be parsed. How can I possibly add meta data like "this test needs to be refactored; please use library X" as a tag? I can't, it's simply not practical.

Believe me, people have already asked me to fork robotframework for this feature but I've been hesitant. I'd much rather be part of the mainstream. I guess I'll have to rethink that strategy.
