ok, next week I will try to make something out of this. If anyone likes this idea and wants to suggest something, now is the time. Massimo, your idea is really interesting but probably requires some kind of "sync", so that the user can change things in the HTML and see it reflected in the YAML tree, you suggest. This seems fertile ground to build/integrate a lot of things on top of it. Maybe I will divide it in stages, I don't know...
