Re: Fwd: YAML Schema Feedback

Relying on tag resolution might be too restrictive in theory... but I'd
love to see a real world example.

If you are relying on tags, then you gain a lot. There's a clear tag
resolution method, and as you pointed out, you can rely on the tags to
basically describe a schema as a set of rules that map nodes to tags. YPath
is certainly helpful here. Basically, the tag resolution works by comparing
the current path to what can be thought of as a YPath pattern (possibly
testing the tags of parent nodes), detecting the existence of children
using what can be thought of additional children (possibly testing their
tags), and assigning a tag accordingly. It is pretty powerful, and given a
bit of care if crafting the patterns, allows for highly composable schemas
built out of small independent pieces.

Your original proposal is actually pretty close to this...
