I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:
key: this is my value
(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)
Edit to add: oh, hmm, I guess trailing commas are fiddly too. Possibly I want some even laxer variant of JSON that lets you use just newlines! :P
