Thank you Marius for the example. Indeed I now see that YAML is a powerful means for a file to have an intuitive readability while drastically reducing file size.
BTW what I conjectured about the role of line breaks is true for CSV too, and any file downloaded from UCD on a semicolon separator basis becomes unusable when displayed straight in the built-in text editor of Windows, given Unicode uses Unix EOL. Still for use in spreadsheets, YAML needs to be converted to CSV, although that might not crash the browser as large XML does.
