It should handle nesting just fine, I think we do that already today.

Take a look at the output of our current tests, I think you might find
it to be a bit more flexible than you think.

Also, this isn't our standard, we picked it because we needed a standard
that the tools of today already understand.  It might have issues and
other problems, but we are not in the business of writing test output
parsing tools, and we don't want to force everyone out there to write
custom parsers.  We want them to be able to use the tools they already
have so they can test the kernel, and to do so as easily as possible.

thanks,
