Ah, that clarifies it. I misunderstood the current situation--I didn't
realize that Test::More automatically adds the plan at the bottom when
If your tests are numbered then a plan is mandatory. In certain
instances a
test file may not know how many test points it will ultimately be
running.
In this case the plan can be the last non-diagnostic line in the
output.

As T::H is the only complete implementation of TAP and thus is something of
a working reference, it is quite relevant to note where it strays from the
ideal.

Sort of.

This sounds like a separate document for someone to write for us to
include with T::H, but not part of the TAP docs.
"Descriptions should not begin with a digit" -- at the moment this
generates
a warning (in Test::* and libtap). It should probably be documented

T::H doesn't really care, but the documentation could be a little
stricter than the practice.
