-------------------------------------------
Might be best to just note that as technical debt and get this much merged in,
as an improvement over what we had. It *does* work better for correct data...
> Possible buffer-boundry issue when serializing surrogate pairs

> Components: Serialization
> Reporter: Joe Kesselman
> Assignee: Joe Kesselman

> XALANJ-2419 addressed a case where "astral" Unicode characters, requiring a
> surrogate pair (two UTF-16 units), were not being serialized correctly. We
> have a proposed fix for that.
> There is reported to still be an edge case when a surrogate pair which
> crosses buffer boundaries might not be handled correctly. [~maxfortun]
> offered what looks like a reasonable proposed fix
> (https://github.com/maxfortun/xalan-j/blob/a9bd5591d9f8a523548aeec091e886b64c691628/src/org/apache/xml/serializer/ToStream.java#L1607),
> but in my testing this was not serializing the surrogate pairs correctly,
> causing regression on the tests XALANJ-2419 introduced. I don't know whether
> that's because we're taking multiple paths through
> But the edge case does appear to be real, and if so we will need some such
> solution.
