The TAP 13 specification does not mention "-", but a dash on the result lin=
e
is used in most of the examples shown in the specification here:
http://testanything.org/tap-specification.html

In the top two examples on that page, the first one does not use dashes and
the second one does.  It's kind of irritating to have that kind of loosey-g=
oosey
syntax in a specification.  IMHO the syntax should be more strictly specifi=
ed
than this.  I don't have a strong opinion either on whether to use dashes o=
r not.
But it would be nice to make it consistent.
