You forgot:

  * YAML uses significant whitespace to denote structure

programmer's way of getting revenge on people who don't have to spend
their coding time managing whitespace."

OGDL on the other hand, seems to be the perl version -- while it _also_
features significant whitespace, that's is only one of several
alternative syntaxes allowed...
