Does a path / query syntax for YAML exist yet?

Hi all,  I really love YAML and would love to start replacing some of my XML
structures,  however I need a way to query the YAML data in the same way
that I can query XML using xpath/xquery.    After searching around, I've
found some things on yaml.kwiki.org
(YPathBrainstorm<http://yaml.kwiki.org/index.cgi?page_name=YPathBrainstorm>and
YAP <http://yaml.kwiki.org/index.cgi?page_name=YAP>), which all seem to
point to good ideas, but nothing real concrete or official.  I've also found
that Ruby's YAML group has a class for YPath,  but from looking at the
source code I can't see that it does much.

So, I guess my question is,  does a standard exist for YPath (if it indeed
exists)?  If not,  is there any indication of what the syntax might look
like (ie, will it follow xpath or will it be its own thing)?

Thanks!
