It's more a matter of output formatting.  If the module won't load 
because of a syntax error, the BAIL_OUT in 00-load.t makes this obvious 
and not obscured by a flood of strange runtime errors and 
what-have-you.

Other than that, numbering doesn't do much good if you're not testing 
the HTTP protocol ;-)

Perhaps it would be nice to have some kind of support for an 
explicit "compile-check" test, but for now naming it 00-load.t works 
fine.

Note that this is a bit more obvious when running tests in parallel.  If 
you see 9 extremely noisy failures surrounding one BAIL_OUT, you could 
quite easily get confused.
