- Canonical empty-array form (`key: []` / root `[]`) replaces `key[0]:`
in format-overview, syntax-cheatsheet, and the efficiency-formalization
worked example. Legacy form still decodes.
- Escape tables grow a `\uXXXX` row covering U+0000-U+001F outside
\n/\r/\t, with a note rejecting lone-surrogate \uXXXX values.
- "Special characters" lists widened to "any control character (U+0000-U+001F)"
instead of the LF/HTAB/CR triplet.
- Tabular eligibility note adds the "at least one key" rule so arrays
containing an empty {} fall back to the expanded list.
- New short example for nested arrays-of-objects as list items (`- [N]:`).
- API reference: Date row gets an info callout noting it's an
implementation choice the spec leaves open; strict-mode bullet list
picks up header structure, duplicate sibling keys, path-expansion
conflicts, and lone-surrogate escapes; Expansion Conflict Resolution
notes the matching duplicate-key policy.
- §17 IANA anchor fix in getting-started media-type paragraph.
