In 7.3.3 the spec has (highlight added by me):
But then in a
BLOCK-KEYcontext we use thens-plain-safe-outrule, which doesn't rule outc-flow-indicatorcharacters.The text is wrong here, and should be fixed to match the rules. As further evidence of this, we have test 2EBW allowing flow indicators in block map implicit keys; that's passed by all current implementations.
Fixing this disagreement by changing the rules would be a breaking change, so we can't do that.
For context, this was discovered while investigating eemeli/yaml#493, originally reported by @jedwards1211.
