I would prefer the British form as well :)

"YAML Ain't Markup Language" / "Yet Another Markup Language"

See:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Examples

It's human-readable and computer-parsable format that would replace
free-form text in the "headers" of hyphenation patterns (keeping all
the content, but unifying the way the data is represented).

As an example:

http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-sl.tex?revision=729&view=markup

The contents would end up in a separate valid YAML file after removing
the comment sign (and the patterns).
