I don't think anyone really disagrees with the ideals you've got here. The
problem is that a large amount of running code is confused in exactly the
way you describe. So, implementers do have to know about code points. The
IETF could pound its collective fist and say "all ill-formed Unicode must
be rejected", but that won't work. This document is a decent attempt at
gradually improving things.

Rob
