I would rather the description of str
be what the language definition considers and then heavily point out the library invariant afterwards instead of giving the library invariant definition and then noting that the language is technically more lax. That said, the content is correct enough that I'm not going to mark "request changes".
@Havvy what about this? |

Outdated
8-bit unsigned bytes. However, the Rust standard library makes extra assumptions | ||
about `str`: methods working on `str` assume and ensure that the data in there | ||
is valid UTF-8. Calling a `str` method with a non-UTF-8 buffer can cause | ||
[Undefined Behavior] now or in the future. \ |

Is the trailing backslash here on purpose? I can't remember what markdown does to it.

It's a newline without starting a new paragraph. I found like the next sentence is somewhat disconnected from the previous ones. You can see that in action by clicking the "view file" link in the PR diff view.
I can remove it if you prefer.

Ah, as long as it has a purpose, it looks fine to me. I recall there being discussion of changing to one sentence = one line anyways, although it never went anywhere.

That's different, that's for just the markdown file.

Oh, I see on, uh, the third look at that file. It's subtle, and I don't see a difference in readability either way personally, but if you see it, I'm willing to trust a second set of eyes.

LGTM as long as that backslash is necessary or harmless.

Just moving the DST point to a separate paragraph. We don't use newlines for formatting anywhere else, and I don't think there's really a good reason to do it here.
