Hi Dave,

First I'll address NUnit 2.6.x, then NUnit 3.0....

NUnit 2.6.x
SetUp plus Test plus TearDown have been treated as a single conceptual unit for 12 years and it seems like a very big surprise for users for us to change it. However, now that you have explained why it seems misleading, I think we could explain it a lot better in the docs. We'll do that for 2.6.3.

Regarding the xml output, I'm a bit confused. There is no "test-step" element in the NUnit xml results. Are you looking at something created by another app from the NUnit output?

NUnit 3.0

For 3.0, the door is open to making more significant changes. In fact, some greater level of detail in the xml is a direction I'd like to go. I'm adding this issue to the NUnit 3.0 project as well, as a reminder to re-consider the issues you raise there.
