I think we should consider realistic host languages, not theoretical ones.  
Also, even in theoretical ones you'd like to able to express every  
character sequence (including a CSS escape) otherwise we already have  
issues in theoretical host languages. (Those who use comma's, parenthesis  
or ASCII characters for syntax.)
