> The I-D should IMO adopt and cite [Charmod] C042 up to C048 verbatim.

C042 would require &#x1234; rather than allowing us to invent \u'1234'.

> A few other conformance criteria in [Charmod] might be also interesting:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C070  Don't exclude arbitrary code points
> http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C077  Don't allow anything above U+10FFFF
> http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C078  Don't (ab)use surrogates
> http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C079  Don't (ab)use non-characters

Those are worth including, I think.
