Hrm, although this does raise the point that W::T does rely on some quite complex metadata queries; performance on a collection of JSON/YAML will suck for that, so that's probably not as good an idea after all.
I wonder if this is kind of a red herring in this case. The reason for having multiple backends is that different applications have different needs and priorities. If the convenience of a flat file format outweighs the need for fast performance when manipulating metadata, then it's OK to make that tradeoff, isn't it?
If it's really a valid trade-off, and it's clearly documented, yes.
