There is quite a number of APIs that take a string and expect it to not contain code unit garbage (lone surrogates): * XMLHttpRequest.open() url / user / password arguments * XMLHttpRequest.send() data argument * XMLHttpRequest.responseText (though this one does not matter much) * TextEncoder.encode() input argument * Everything in http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#api * WebSocket API * A bunch of HTML attributes that set URLs. I think we should introduce UTFString to make this conversion explicit and not bother tons of standards with boilerplate language that is easily forgotten. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
