Perl harness going standard ?

I downloaded the latest subversion snapshot. It comes with something called Neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API. I see in the file neon/test/README, in the Credits section :

This test suite is inspired by the Subversion project, discussion on the subversion mailing list, and seeing chromatic's talks on XP. The presentation is inspired by the standard Perl test suite. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, right?

Standards

I discussed this with Schwern a bit at YAPC. I'd really like to see the testing output protocol standardized (and defined) by us so that other projects can use it as well.

Right now, I've got PHP code that uses its own Test::More clone so that Test::Harness can do smoke tests on all the PHP and Perl code that lives together in my projects.
