AFAIK, xml control characters are all ascii, and what's between them
you can slice or dup without consideration, so code units should be
more than enough.
If you don't fully check for well-formness (as XML parsers ought to do
according to the XML spec) then sure you can limit yourself to ASCII.
You'll let through illegal characters in element and attribute names
though.
