Well done! The only thing I see that could be improved in the HTML format is:
1. The total number of tests should be the last row.
2. Non-engineers (and some engineers like me) like percentages, in addition to raw numbers. Helps reduce panic when someone goes "oh my gosh! We have 18 tests failing!!!"
Cheers and have a happy new year :)!

PS some of the ATF tests (for 0.17 at least) won't work unless you have the right configuration file [from share/?], but if you have that configuration file, it will cause regular tests to bomb because of recursion with /bin/sh . Granted, that was with ATF, not Kyua driving the tests...
