Re: Specification vs. Tag repository

Yes, the spec is more up-to-date. Supporting only JSON true/false is covered
under the "JSON Schema" section, although the slightly less restrictive
"Core Schema" is recommended. Either way, any YAML library should in
principle allow the application to specify extensions...

Have fun,
