I have some experience and a *lot* of interest in this. Please do raise
specific proposals here... as you know I have a few ticking along in
testtools for betatesting. (testtools is about equal to unittest2, its
more extensible and has classes demonstrating that, but it doesn't
support a couple of minor 2.7 stdlib features yet).

One thing in particular - consider deleting TestRunner at this point:
I've found, with the startTestRun and stopTestRun methods on TestResult
that I no longer need a Runner class at all in my front ends.
