This would be more of a question to Rob.

I am "OK" at writing YAML but not great.

If I were to express that out of 3 nodes in the DT one and only
one *must* contain a certain subnode, but it doesn't matter
which one, I have no idea how to express that.

Since the abstract syntax in YAML is pretty much stateless
this beats me.
