Another consideration is that yaml's sheer complexity creates more possibilities for interoperability issues. No two parsers for JSON behave identically, let alone for something as large as yaml.

Yeah, I looked at pyyaml's documentation last night while writing pls2upl, and the format is so complex that this looks like it's going to be a clusterfuck. I'm thinking of switching to JSON in the end...
