Fixed.  I also tweaked the "Translation" section to make it explicit
that line-ending is mapped to \n.

Fixed.

This one I haven't resolved yet.  For one things I'd like to
trying implementing in Kawa whatever syntax we end up on.
Does anyone else have an opinion?  Is '!' a good character to

for internationalized strings instead?

there as well?  One might think so for consistency, but there may
be some ambiguity issues.
