I say "code unit" as a shorter way of saying "16 bit unsigned integer
code unit"
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-code-unit
(which DOM4 also links to) and then just "code point" to refer to 21
bit numbers that might correspond to a Unicode character, which you
can see used in
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-obtain-unicode
Well then, you are one up on ECMA-262, and from Mark Davis's message
using canonical Unicode terms. We shall strive to align terms.
Here's another q for the DOM folks and others using WebIDL: is extending
the DOM and other specs to respect the BRS and support full Unicode
conceivable from where you sit? Desirable? Thanks.
