yes, I guess it's easy to trip over this, causing a potential
interoperability issue.  suggested text:

        It is an error for a script to use a hexadecimal value that
        isn't in either the range 0 to D7FF or the range E000 to
        10FFFF.[...]

        Note: Implementations MUST NOT raise an error for an out of
        range Unicode value unless the sequence containing it is
        well-formed according to the grammar.
