  I think you're right. It's the way it is, cause that's the way it is...
I think KFAILs should go in the summary. I've never really liked the idea of
either XFAIL or KFAIL, but understand others find these useful. I worry that
once setup as a expected failure, they'll get lost, and never fixed. So KFAIL
should be in the summary to beat developers over the head with them so they
eventually get fixed and removed.

  btw - I'm still waiting for KFAIL documentation... :-)
