Perhaps you could surround all strings with "" in the generator, and
escape all potentially special characters (which seems to include some
whitespace even in quoted strings, unfortunately)?

It has been claimed before that YAML is a superset of JSON, so why
can't the YAML folks use the existing JSON output instead?
