Hi Andrew!

While searching for this, I came across this group, which is a great, but it appears there has been no activity here in a while and it looks like all the wiki pages with prior information about the state of the TAP protocol becoming an IETF RFC have disappeared.

The most recent version of the spec I could find was at https://github.com/gaurav/test-anything-protocol/blob/master/output/draft-vaidya-test-anything-protocol-00.txt, but this doesn’t talk about nesting at all. I’ve been out of the loop for a long, long time for graduate school reasons, but I think I remember someone (Ovid?) writing up a spec for nested TAP elsewhere?

cheers,
