StandardReferences class

The provenance recorded by @StandardReferences(standards, connotation): which public standard(s) a section or field derives from, and what the section means.

Distinct from the author-facing @ContentHelp guidance — connotation states intent and ownership ("what this section is"), not "how to fill it in". The exporter emits it as a curated top-level key rather than leaving it to be dug out of the annotation list, so this reads that key.

Constructors

StandardReferences({List<String> standards = const [], String? connotation})

Both halves are optional and independent: @StandardReferences is used both to cite standards without glossing them and to state a connotation for a node that traces to no published standard, so neither can be required without rejecting a legitimate annotation.
