I'm conflicted about expressly encouraging different tools to support different formats (conflicted because I work for a tools vendor that supports ridiculously good extensions that breaks other tooling if used!). The extensions were sort of already implied with "at a minimum", but this is a step further and I'm not sure it's helpful to users if they are expecting their API descriptions to be interoperable.

@lornajane I only want to clarify the original intention. I don't at all strongly about this, it's just one more issue to resolve. If you and the TSC want to resolve the issue (#1867) without action I'm happy to take this commit out.

@lornajane I updated this to warn about interoperability problems and offer guidance to description authors to consider the impact on users of tools that don't support extensions. Please let me know if you think this is a good balance. I'm also still happy to strike this change if it seems problematic.

Thanks to @lornajane for the review feedback.

Also clarified |
When we mention YAML's "Failsafe schema" we give it a lower-case "schem", as the YAML documentatio does. We also prefix it with "YAML". However, we capitalize "Schema" in "JSON Schema ruleset", which (given how much JSON Schema is used in the OAS) is a jarring overlap with "JSON Schema". This change aligns "YAML JSON schema ruleset" with "YAML Failsafe ruleset" and explicitly calls out that it is unrelated to JSON Schema.

I've added one more clarification that's been bugging me for years since this is stil open: Clarify confusing use of YAML "JSON Schema" When we mention YAML's "Failsafe schema" we give it a lower-case"schema", as the YAML documentatio does. We also prefix it with "YAML". However, we capitalize "Schema" in "JSON Schema ruleset", which (given how much JSON Schema is used in the OAS) is a jarring overlap with "JSON Schema".
