There are many changes, and it's already clear from the responses here
that people consider most of them improvements, and the case of
testing testrunners is special enough that I already can feel that
nobody is going to care, so I'm not going to spend the hours I'm going
to need to document the changes, it seems a waste of time. I suspect
zope.testing just won't be tested on Python 2.7. Let's hope it
continues to work on it. :)

But changes in the exception format will affect everyone using
doctests, so that's more serious, and will need to be handled. If we
can get a similar change into 3.2 so we can handle the exception
format changes between 2.6 and 3.x that would be an added bonus.
