YAML 1.2 spec: Example 8.2. Block Indentation Indicator

[asomov]

When I try to parse example 8.2 at http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#Block
I got:

[ 'detected\n',
  '\n\n# detected\n',
  '\n explicit\n',
  '\n\t\ndetected\n' ]

But according to the canonical form last two lines must not get a leading '\n':

%YAML 1.2

---
!!seq [
  !!str "detected\n",
  !!str "\n\n# detected\n",
  !!str "·explicit\n",
  !!str "\t·detected\n",
]

For fix squad reference:

1. Seems like explicit indent identifier adds a linefeed to begin of result. (fixed by Fix block scalar leading/trailing newlines #278)
2. Folding works wrong when concatenating line "\t" with "foo". Expected: "\t foo"; actual: "\t\nfoo".

Second part is still not clear. @aepsilon pointed that it's possible spec bug in #278

For part 2 of #253, it appears the spec has an error.

' \t' is a more-indented line according to the grammar, since \t is s-white.

[177] s-nb-spaced-text(n) ::= s-indent(n) s-white nb-char*

(Rule [175] for folded lines doesn't match)
Therefore join with a newline.

LibYAML 0.1.5 agrees.
It throws an error on the example, but if you specify indent with>1, it also produces '\t\ndetected\n'.

I think this needs further investigation. I'll need to review that part of the spec by myself as well.
