Bug?

---
plain scalar value # this is not a comment
# this is not a comment

- plain scalar value # this is not a comment
 # this is not a comment (indented)
---
- plain scalar value # this is not a comment
# this is a comment
---
key: plain scalar value # this is not a comment
 # this is not a comment (indented)
---
key: plain scalar value # this is not a comment
# this is a comment
...

The specs say, "Plain scalars must never contain the ": " and " #" character
combinations. Such combinations would cause ambiguity with mapping
key: value pairs and comments."

So I expected ypaste to give me an error for all of the plain scalar values
above that contain "#".  Instead, it accepts the data as part of the scalar
value in all the places I would expect it to if there were no prohibition on
"#".

Maybe "#" is acceptable now and the wording of the specs just needs
updating?
