Sven,

I looked at your sample document in the pdf:

TestDomainObject {
  #created : DateAndTime [ '2012-02-14T16:40:15+01:00' ],
  #modified : DateAndTime [ '2012-02-14T16:40:18+01:00' ],
  #integer : 39581,
  #float : 73.84789359463944,
  #description : 'This is a test',
  #color : #green,
  #tags : [
    #two,
    #beta,
    #medium
  ],
  #bytes : ByteArray [ 'afabfdf61d030f43eb67960c0ae9f39f' ],
  #boolean : false
}

And this is very readable (to me)... not as many '[]' as I inferred from 
reading the tests:). 

I take back my YAML comparison ... this has the nice flavor of Smalltalk ...

Dale
