 unexpected output on stdout -> stdout.
 exit w/0 or last test -> error
 tags given outside a test are applied to all following tests
 tags given within a test inherit the current global tags
+The time tag acts as a clock event - it sets the time for all future events.
+Currently this is not exposed at the python API layer.
 
 In python, tags are assigned to the .tags attribute on the RemoteTest objects
 created by the TestProtocolServer.
