+            When a plain [=string=] is used, or when the `lang` or `dir`
+            members are omitted, `lang` falls back the [=language tag=] of the
+            [=language map=] key, and `dir` falls back to the [=manifest/dir=]

I think this means that, for instance, in `"fr": {"value": "Sélecteur de Couleur", "dir": "ltr"}` the `lang` value is `"fr"`. But I agree it could be made clearer.

I'm not sure I understand why we need both the key of the map and this `lang` value. `"fr": {"value": "Sélecteur de Couleur", "lang": "fr-CA", "dir": "ltr"}` could just be `"fr-CA": {"value": "Sélecteur de Couleur", "dir": "ltr"}` no?

I would see some value in allowing multiple values, on the other hand. This would allow having a single entry for multiple variants of a language, e.g. `"fr-others": {"value": "Sélecteur de Couleur", "lang": "fr-CA, fr-BE", "dir": "ltr"}`
