Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor 2011-06-10 18:11:30 UTC 
Yeah, the step "Replace any characters in input that have a Unicode code point greater than U+FFFF (i.e. any characters that are not in the basic multilingual plane) with the two-character string "00"" looks redundant to me.  Just make it clear that three steps later, "Replace any character in input that is not in the range . . ." operates on 16-bit code units instead of characters, and then the earlier step looks entirely redundant.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I've left it as is because my head hurts when I try to work out when I'm working on UTF-16 code units and when I'm working in Unicode. I'd rather make sure that it works however you look at it.
