Spotted in quick readthrough of the diff:
4.1.7. Serialising a String 
 Given a string as input: 
 1. If input is not a sequence of characters, or contains characters 
 outside the range allowed by the ABNF defined in Section 3.7, 
 fail serialisation. 
 2. Let output be an empty string. 
 3. Append DQUOTE to output. 
 4. For each character char in input: 
 1. If char is "" or DQUOTE: 
 1. Append "" to output. 
 2. Append char to output, using ASCII encoding [RFC0020]. 
 5. Append DQUOTE to output. 
 6. Return output. 
 
The steps 4.1 and 4.1.1 look off... I am guessing those should have "\"
instead of "".
