YAML (at least the latest revision of the spec) is a superset of JSON.
Better start simple and add complexity only if it is needed.

I've read the YAML spec. I can never understand people who proclaim it to
be "simple". Even XML is simpler!

I'll take your YAML or XML or whatever and raise you ASN.1. Heck, you could mount sysmibfs and make it legible - hilarious!
The latest modish markup thingie isn't going to solve the design goals of sysfs, let alone anything else.
I personally like the simple text file with a value in it approach - I don't have to learn Yet Another Markup Language (and I don't just mean YAML 8)
Re evaluating the goals and perhaps filling in the missing ones and then someone enforcing the end design decisions will give a chance for the grandkids to see this thing.
