I agree FWIW. I have already made a value judgement mildly against YAML, in case that's not clear. It's only mild because the problem can be worked around. I think this approach is more practical than moving the whole world over to a completely different thing. > problem is fixable […] non-ambiguous […] rules Is the implication here that you say YAML is ambiguous? It's not. I don't want sloppy analysis. To be precise, the ambiguity is imagined, it does not exist on the spec or software level, only in the head of people.
