The YAML representation model ties each tag to a Kind. It seems to me that allowing several different Kinds for a tag might add to the human factors of the language. For example, someone might want to allow different representations of a 2-D point:
- !point (4, 5) # Scalar
- !point [4, 5] # seq
- !point {x:4, y:5} # map
