> 3. An attractive name such as UnicodeString might lead to adoption in places that do not require it. String/DOMString should be used normally.
I just want to second this. As an API designer, if presented with the choice
between `UnicodeString` and `DOMString`, I'd probably choose UnicodeString.
("Of course I want to support Unicode! I bet whatever a DOMString is, it's to
support some weird legacy DOM APIs.")
I don't see why ScalarValueString is bad, really, despite the stated reasons.
But if this must change for whatever reason, it needs to sound "weird." Maybe
PostprocessedUnicodeString or ScalarizedUnicodeString or something.
