[Small syntax detail, do not spend too much time on it.] Section 5.1 describes the content of the "Backslash-U with Delimiters" form as "4*6HEXDIG". Why not "2*6HEXDIG"? It would be more compact for the first characters and would be more consistent with the other forms such as the "XML and HTML" one. My personal taste is that \u'20' is better than \u'0020'. Section 6.2 contains a note which seems related (the risk that small numbers are thought to represent octets, in the current locale) but I do not think it is a serious risk since section 2 clearly states that we encode Unicode code points, not octets.
