This sounds great! I really like using yaml for web development. However, my last use case was for a non-techie, so I created a little desktop application for editing the "yamlbase", if you excuse the neologism. I think it worked quite well, because the user was then presented with a friendly looking system ( I even wrote a little calendar widget :) without having to spend the precious moneys on dynamic hosting. In the end, everyone was very happy. Actually, it was written in Ruby, and Shoes, and the data part was a lot less powerful than the yst query language there - but I think that an analogous tool would be useful; a GUI which creates yst scripts, would make yst a very powerful tool for non-techies.
