I think this is perfectly clear: > > delivery: !date %iso 2003-02-01 The brackets allow one to use a wider range of 'color' indicators without ruling them out as the first character of a simple scalar. For example: delivery: [+EST] 2003-02-01 value: +12 Also, I think that that using '%' as color, unprotected: delivery: %iso !date 2003-02-01 map: % ... Is a bit "too implicit" for my taste. I find: delivery: [%iso !date] 2003-02-01 map: % ... To be less confusing. A matter of taste, perhaps... Have fun, Oren Ben-Kiki |
