I'm thinking that editing that YAML file directly means that as you add 
or remove things you have to check that you're dealing with all the 
valid XHTML items you might want.  Once you delete something, how do you 
know, sometime later, that it is an option that could be restored, other 
than perhaps looking through a DTD.  Having a base that is always 
complete, with edits overlaid,  makes it easier to rollback to the most 
tolerant sanitization.
