Ivan: I mean like a String value - if I send surrogate pair inside as a literal; that'll be transcoded into proper code. What if I send it via variables, what happens to the surrogate pairs there? Potentially people can inline arguments (e.g. simplification of queries), so we need feature parity with query variables.
Lee: I agree we should generally have the same. The Unicode rules we apply to the grammar do not apply to values that come in in the same way (because the Spec doesn't have purview over them). This spec change hopefully clarifies some of this. As long as your internal string can represent the value then you're good to go. We'll take a careful look at the text to make sure that we repeat this point wherever needed, e.g. in the serialization section.
