> I'd like to warn about YAML use. Though YAML is very nice for humans, it's very difficult for correctimplementation. Placing it to spec "as is" will create ass pain for client-side parsers. Mostly because of big size. I say this, as author of js-yaml1 - the most popular js implementation.

> It worth to "officially" restrict some YAML features like omap, set, anchros, merge, custom types. That will make possible to create more fast and compact parser for YAML subset. IMHO, it would be enougth to support JSON types and (may be) Date.

Was said by a vitaly from that page.

I would like to know if there is a restricted subset of YAML, that is
suitable for embedding in other parsers with minimal size for a small
set of core syntax (but extendible).

If there isn't. Then it is likely that commonmark may devise its own
YAML restricted variants, but that comes at a cost to consistency
across YAML implementations. So it is definitely in our interest to
have at least a common core restricted syntax of the most commonly
used YAML syntaxes (And a good way to degrade other more advance
features that is left out, but is still in the input YAML file).
