Documents the print-placeholder fallback proposed in #51.

A placeholder may list several paths separated by | and the first one resolving to a non-blank value is rendered. The section explains the failure it removes (an optional twin field - a locally registered name beside the canonical one - leaves a hole in a legal document for every record with the other one filled) and the normative rules, including the one that keeps it safe: the last operand is rendered whatever it holds, so a single path is the one-operand case and an existing template is byte-identical until it adopts the syntax.

Added to /spec/presentation under Printable documents, plus a reference-index row.

npx vitepress build docs clean. Left open pending the proposal.
