I imagine that is true. However, there is a YAML mode for emacs here:

    http://yaml-mode.clouder.jp/

(For Debian users, the 'yaml-mode' package is currently in the 'testing'
distribution.)

According to [0], the "Radrails" Eclipse plugin[1] understands YAML
syntax.

Looking at [2], it looks like NetBeans has support for YAML, also in a
Ruby/Rails plugin.

For jEdit, vim, and SciTE, check the links at [3] (vim supports YAML out
of the box).

After that, I got tired of following google links, but it looks like
editor support for YAML is pretty widespread.

Sure, that doesn't cover /all/ editors, but even just emacs, eclipse,
and netbeans covers a lot of bases.

That's a good point. However, it probably wouldn't be much work to
create a reverse transform prog.

One of the things I like about RelaxNG[4] is that it supports both an
XML syntax and a "compact" syntax. As Eric has demonstrated, YAML could
provide a similar feature for Maven pom.xml files.
