Full Unicode strings strawman

That’s exactly my problem.  I think the engine’s (or at least the applications written in JavaScript) are still UTF-16-centric and that they’ll have d800, dc00 === 10000.  For example, if they were different, then d800, dc00 should print �� instead of 𐀀, however I’m reasonably sure that any implementation would end up rendering it as 𐀀.

In other words I don’t think you can get the engine to be completely UTF-32.  At least not without declaring a page as being UTF-32.
