[tap-l] questions regarding draft standard compliance

[EBo]

One of the bugs I discovered in my consumer when reparsing Test-Harness's
output was a test description which contained a \# -- which is not a
Safe-String:

  ok 36 - Perl->can_handle( \#!...perl )

I also noticed that the the directives SKIP and TODO are in lower case
instead of upper.  Are the string safety and case sensitivity going to be
part of the draft standard?

  Thanks and best regards,
