it is built on similar ideas as xml (tries to be a generic something)
it has many inconsistent syntax elements (like a "feature rich" wiki)

compare
http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html
and
http://www.json.org/

yaml has complicated grammar rules which makes it hard to parse for
both human and machine readers and does not seem to solve any
particular problem
