Remove step 7 "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"." if the algorithm is
dealing with UTF-16 code units ("Yeah this is fallout from the decision to
stop having the spec be in terms of Unicode but instead have the spec in terms
of UTF-16 code points." -- http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13676
