More seriously: this is a good overview of the reasons I dislike YAML as a web configuration language. There's too much overlap between the "friendly" auto-type-determination in YAML and the symbols used in web tech, from colons to Norway having a TLD. It wouldn't be so bad if yaml parsers could use expected type of each value as a hint, but that's not a feature in any parser I've met, so I'd rather just not use yaml for anything that's going to end up describing a web service.
