Pause and Resume

I've been working with YAML streams the last couple of days and I've run into an issue/question I could use some help with. The program I am working on passes a YAML stream through a pipe. At any point during the stream the producing program may need to halt the YAML stream and somehow instruct the program at the end of the pipe that the YAML is "paused". From there it expects the consuming program to dump what comes across the pipe to stdout as given until such time it receives a special instruction to "resume" processing the YAML stream. Initially I thought this should be easy, I can just send a `...` to signal the pause and a `---` to restart. But this morning I realized, though I might be able to get away with in my particular case, it's not technically quite right b/c there could be a situation where the pause needs to occur mid-document. So this leads me to wonder, should YAML have markers for pause and resume, in addition to the current boundary markers? Also, are there any standards for this kind of thing when using pipes in general? If there are maybe that would be sufficient.
