Re: Specification vs. Tag repository

Greetings,

I'll make an executive call and say that you should stick to the spec. The
type repository is not kept up to date as well as the spec is.

You may want to provide compatibility options to change your implicit typing
if problems come up in the wild. Otherwise I would not worry about it.

In my opinion, the default implicit typing should be even stricter, only
happening on 'true' and 'false'. This is required for JSON compatibility and
also gives us one simple way to express boolean values. Maybe in YAML 2.0 :)

I would *highly* suggest that you don't ever *emit* anything other than
those lowercase versions.

Cheers, Ingy
