RS 3001: string value escapes, empty-string presence, null literal - #11
Merged

Conversation
Core syntax gains a String values section: both quote kinds accept the escape sequences backslash-quote and backslash-backslash, strictly -- no other escape is defined. The empty string is defined as a present, zero-length value, distinct from absence. Null joins the primitive values, and the Instance section records the assignment semantics: an unassigned optional attribute is absent, an explicit null assignment denotes the null value.

Summary
RS 3001 amendment for the two string-value gaps surfaced by lutaml-lml's quoting-contract specs (lutaml-lml#68):
null), and the Instance section records assignment semantics: an unassigned optional attribute is absent; an explicitnullassignment denotes the null value;""denotes a present empty string.Implementation in lutaml-lml follows once this lands: grammar escaped-string scans, the null literal, emitter escaping, and corpus fixtures pinning each example.
