How about a triple sequence of two high surrogates followed by one low 
surrogate?
 
I suggest this as a solution to the problem that is posed by Andrew as I feel 
that it would be interesting to know if that would be possible or whether it 
would be forbidden due to an existing policy that has already been guaranteed 
to be unchangeable.
