Yeah, true. We have existing code in Gecko to detect situations where 
such escapes create high or low UTF-16 surrogates and we disallow that. 
  Would it be reasonable to also disallow insertion of combining 
characters via such escapes?  Or to just not worry about the problem?

What bits are those?  I couldn't make sense of what he was saying, to be 
honest.  I couldn't even understand whether the thought normalization 
should or should not be done...
