--- Comment #2 from O'Neil Delpratt <oneil@saxonica.com> ---
The WG decision that the test is valid:

The key rationale is to decouple our spec from Unicode:  using an unassigned
character may be (perhaps is) a violation of the agreement between data source
and data sink, if they have agreed to use a particular version of Unicode.
But it is not (and should not be) a violation of our specs.
Unicode may assign the character next month or next year, and it should be
possible to use the character then, in a conforming implementation.
That means it must be possible *now* to use it in a conforming implementation.
