I think we already have this in the form of export blocks, viz.

#+name: yaml_header_1
#+begin_export yaml
output:
  html_document:
    toc: true
    toc_depth: 2
#+end_export

will be ignored by babel and by exporters that do not define a transcoder for `yaml' blocks.

The data can be used in transcoders for derived backends or in src blocks like this one:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var yaml_dat_1=yaml_header_1
  yaml_dat_1
#+end_src

And =C-c '= will invoke an edit buffer in yaml mode (if available).

And it seems that fontifying natively works just as with src blocks.

Best,
Chuck
