Subject: [httpapi] YAML media type: further interoperability considerations on booleans

Dear all,

I was asked to add a paragraph in the Security Considerations
regarding boolean behavior.
In YAML 1.1, the /yes|no/ mapped to boolean
while according to YAML 1.2.2 I understand that only
/true|false/ maps to boolean.

The proposal is not invasive
https://github.com/ietf-wg-httpapi/mediatypes/issues/97
and I think it is quite valuable, given the widespread of yes/no in
YAML files (e.g., in IaC descriptor).

Have a nice day,
R.
