I don't think it's any more reasonable to require that parsers pass through
any old non-Unicode string contents than it would be to require a specific
range of real numbers to be passed by all parsers.  Or at least it would be
surprising to find JSON to be so.  Also, I can agree that parsers should
pass through any odd escaped non-character data, but not that they should
unescape such data.
