Thanks. So this is where I find myself in a catch-22 situation.  In order to
register the +yaml suffix, it needs to there a reference to a specification
for YAML.  However, there is no such specification that is managed by a SDO.
I searched in the YAML Core mailing list and back in 2003 they discussed
their plan to use text/yaml as the media type.  There has been no further
discussion of registering a media type since then on the list.

So it seems that, without a spec under an SDO, it would not be possible to
register text/yaml or register the suffix.

It seems that the only option available would be for someone to convince the
YAML team to allow a variant of their spec (it has images in it) to be
created as an IETF spec.

Does that reasoning appear sound?
