todo.txt & yaml-spec?

[ghost]

Hi everyone.

I'm thinking of making a specification of the todo.txt in yaml. I would like to know what you all think of the idea.

example

todo-txt.yaml

---
A: 'Search for Best Website ::: https://www.google.com/'
B: 'This is effectively the title ::: this is effectively like a newline or "ignorable" area for most clients'
C: 'Register for appointment at DMV ::: https://some.long.dmv.url.gov/form/some-thing/here.cfm'
D: 'A complicated issue ::: { "json": "blob", "goes": "...here..." }'

or todo-txt.yaml

---
  title: 'search'
  description: 'search for best website'
  completed: 'yes'

what you all think of the idea?

YAML is a good choice for human / computer reading, and current spec is human first.
YAML is schema self definition(a.k.a all fields are key: value format), and current spec is defined common using fields in syntax.

I like YAML, but it seems makes the spec more complex.
