You may have a look here http://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/issues/detail?id=53 
for some basic directions.

Implement alignment as you suggested is not that easy. You have to go through 
all the properties to calculate the longest name. If you take into account that 
property names and values might be rather complex then the task becomes a 
challenge. You can simplify it a bit. Instead, you can define the 'recommended' 
length, which can be set in the DumperOptions. If the real length is bigger, 
the 'recommended' length is ignored.

The Python YAML library gets the same proposal. The inspiration (and possible 
implementation) can be found there: http://pyyaml.org/ticket/214
