That sounds very reasonable; one possible alternative to subclassing 
would be to just create a delegating wrapper around the runner (since 
you want to run normally PLUS outputting XML). Just grab the mediator 
instance variable out of the runner (you'll have to use instance_eval 
or somesuch as there's not currently a public method to get it) and 
attach your own listeners to it. The advantage to this is that you can 
theoretically wrap any mediator-using runner.
