In my view that is still "internal" to your apps use of these characters :)

The original text doesn't say that my application cannot store & retrieve them 
from files for internal use.  On the contrary, I'd expect proprietary formats 
for internal use to require that.  I agree that the original text is a bit 
vague on the question of tools to inspect/modify/whatever your internal use.
