[Yaml-core] On the transfer method (new 10 FEB 2002 spec)

[Clark C . E. <cc...@cl...>]

Thank you so much Oren for updating the spec pending all of 
our YACS.  In a few weeks (*sigh*) I'll get to a detailed review 
and hopefully in March i can start on a "C" parser.  That said, 
my comments below may be a bit out of sync since I'm YAML fuzzy 
(too much focus on deadlines).

I had a question about the transfer method part.  In particular,
I was curious if this is what we had agreed to (*blush*).  More
in particular:

  1.  I don't particularly like !\com.clarkevans.timesheet,
      If there isn't a colon and a slash and more than one period, 
      "com.clarkevans.timesheet", then its normalized form should
      be prepended with "yaml:any/" to make:

      com.clarkevans.ts -> yaml:any/com.clarkevans.ts

      I know this prevents us from using "!date.value" as
      a short hand for "yaml:any:/org.yaml.date.value", but
      I don't see this as a big use case, where the above
      one is a big use case.

  2.  I was wondering if we could switch the role of the
      backtick(`) and the pipe (|) characters?  So that the
      pipe is used to split the format, where the backtick
      is used for the short-hand mechanism.  The pipe is
      a very nice separator and is not very magical; where
      most people expect magic when they see a back-tick.

  
  3.  I was wondering how Brian's perl works with this new spec.


Thanks!
