Alisdair,

This all sounds reasonable and very much in line with our outline for
improving the reports' usability. Could you please put a one-sentence
summary of the above and a link to your message on the Boost.Testing

(http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Testing)?

TIA,
