I'm not sure I follow.  Are you talking about writing YAML or interpreting
YAML.  You don't need a serializer to write YAML.  It can be done 
with straight text output.  I guess it depends on the scope of what you
envision.  Even if you want to do more than trivial structured output,
I don't think you'll need a full serializer.  (IOW, I think you could sneak
something in and just call it a test output formatter.  Just don't call it YAML
and most people won't notice. :-)

Well that's a different kettle of worms, and really argues for staying
with something that is strictly line-based.

When you say "getting a copy of TAP into the kernel", I presume you mean
an existing implementation to produce TAP output?  Or are you talking about
a TAP interpreter?  I'm not sure the former needs to use an existing implementation.

I previously volunteered (in Lisbon) to write up the TAP deviations,
and never got around to it.   Sorry about that. I can try to work on it now if
people are still interested.
