My initial reaction was: if we don't *need* to restrict the code-point set, why would we? Is it a benefit in that tool chains will catch invalid characters further upstream than they might otherwise? I understand Unicode bans these code points, but if someone puts them in a file and then processes them as uXML, where's the harm? Is there some difficulty encoding these as UTF-8 or other Unicode encoding? -Mike
