JSON *is* "Simple YAML". If I use tags it's no longer "JSONable".

It's funny you should mention it b/c I just thought of that too. And I
think I might go that route b/c I also realized that I can't guarantee
that a YAML implementation won't throw an error if it doesn't
recognize a tag. Ruby's Psych will just ignore it, but I don't think
there is any kind of standard around that behavior is there?

If there were a YPath to work with (and in my case I need a Ruby
implementation), I think I could have the YES schema project I've been
working on in beta shape in only a few days.

I also discovered this:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zyp-json-schema-03, which looks like
it has a few ideas I can use to polish off YES.
