Do you mean:

- !!type key: value
         key2: value


Yes, that is confusing...

Since both of you feel that way, I'll go with it.

There are a few changes to the spec and it seems we've neglected our YACs.
Could one of you guys YAC the remaining things (with '---' only separator,
restricted keyed-in-series)? I'll update the spec itself.

Also: one open question is whether to allow BOM? '-' '-' '-' as the
separator (as long as the encoding doesn't change), to make it always safe
to concatenate two separated YAML streams with the same encoding. Thoughts?

Have fun,
