I think a little code generation can go a long way. It really does get kind of repetitive having to setup a base application scaffold for each new project unless you sit down and create a standard scaffold which you reuse everywhere.
I put a YAML proposal in the wiki a while back. There's some code attached but its non-functional until I refactor some of the offsetting in the Parser class so the lexer can have its fun. I think Yaml is an interesting format but it depends on what it's needed for. Supporting a subset of the format is a lot faster than supporting the whole spec (requires far less parsing). The current proposal is for the entire spec (excluding Unicode support for the moment), with an option for an alternative subset for those files which don't need the whole sledgehammer. I believe people only ever need a subset anyway unless doing really complex stuff. It takes just a single class for a subset, but a proper parser to be completely certain of the entire specification details.

One of the things we were thinking of doing post 1.0 is also adding YAML support to ZF and then integrating the various components like Zend_Config & Zend_Translate with it to provide the choice of the various formats to ZF users. Not sure what format would be most suitable for such a tool but it's something for you to also consider longer term. Or maybe you just support Zend_Config and it'll work with whatever back-end there is.
