Add a schema to it and you get XML. The ultimate serialization format.

Quite like YAML, XML has too many stuff in it. While a lot of parsers are not standard compliant and safe, if there's any chance the stuff you include on your code can evolve into a fully featured parser, including it is something to avoid.

There is this language called KDL that looks interesting.
