I believe this question has already come up in the past and there is no clear answer yet. Basically, summarizing several results into one assertion may help compact reports but it potentially has implications on the location etc. Also, it may sometimes make sense to summarize several test subjects or even test cases per assertion. But this way the reports can get very ugly very quickly. We need a model that will allow more compact and abbreviated reports yet remain sane.
