Description

A region format that exists and that we could implement is the IVOA (I think?) supported STC-S, as described here: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010ASPC..434..213B

There was some discussion about putting the STC format into yaml files, which might make the i/o very nice & easy.

Research direction

The issue links to an STC-S reference and mentions YAML serialization, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Read the linked paper and inspect the repository's existing region serialization formats first; done would require a settled STC-S scope and corresponding implementation and tests.
