I have compared Martin's text with our earlier discussions, and it
seems to match with one exception: he excludes all of FFF0-FFFF,
instead of just FFFE and FFFF.  He has a note "U+FFF0-FFFF: TODO:
Check, give these a name, and explain".

I'm not sure what the issue is with these characters, but to achieve
our aim of not making a normative change to XML (etc), we need to
allow FFF0-FFFD, no matter how stupid they are.

If we resolve this point, I think we could abandon our own efforts and
refer to LEIRIs in our specs.
