Now I’m confused. The way Doug phrased it, \uxxxx *will* be syntax, i.e. 
the string "U+xxxx" will be replaced by "\\uxxxx" (a 6-character string 
containing an identifier). Not "\uxxxx" (a 1-character string containing 
the actual character) which could be compared directly to a character.

Otherwise, I would suggest not to talk in terms of "\uxxxx" strings at 
all, after all the DOM specification does not need to concern itself 
with serialisation, but instead to just talk about characters and code 
points.
