>3.2.3.3. Comments

>Comments are a presentation detail and must not have any effect on the serialization tree or representation graph. In particular, comments are not associated with a particular node. The usual purpose of a comment is to communicate between the human maintainers of a file. A typical example is comments in a configuration file. Comments may not appear inside scalars, but may be interleaved with such scalars inside collections.

Isn't this just a little bit too crazy? At least one yaml parser turns any scalar beginning with # into a null.
