Having thought about this, I can see no value in mentioning
situations/components that handle all-the-code-points garbage.  This
document exists to provide options for people specifying new protocols &
data formats and explains (clearly, I hope) why all-the-code-points is not
provided as one of those options.

On the other half, it is certainly the case that some text fields are going
to have much more restricted repertoires than any of the ones listed in
this document. I’m trying to imagine a situation in which stating this fact
would be helpful to a reader, and what that reader would need to hear. So
far I’m coming up empty.
