I think we already have this in the form of export blocks, viz.
#+name: yaml_header_1
#+begin_export yaml
output:
html_document:
toc: true
toc_depth: 2
#+end_export
will be ignored by babel and by exporters that do not define a transcoder for
`yaml' blocks.
The data can be used in transcoders for derived backends or in src blocks like
this one:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var yaml_dat_1=yaml_header_1
yaml_dat_1
#+end_src
And =C-c '= will invoke an edit buffer in yaml mode (if available).
And it seems that fontifying natively works just as with src blocks.
Best,
Chuck
