Given that lone surrogates are valid values in JS strings, that seems like the right behavior, rather than erroring.

Reminder: The TG5 Workshop will be held on Friday 21st of February, the day after the plenary meeting. It'll be hosted by F5 (same venue as the plenary).
Among other items on the agenda, we'll have a visitor from UCSD to talk about the MessageFormat study and identify other proposals that might benefit from user studies.

What is TG5?

TG5 is a task group of TC39 that:

  • conducts scientific studies on proposals, either "commissioned" by TC39 (e.g., MessageFormat study - to be presented at the upcoming workshop in Seattle), or out of self-driven interest with a clear potential to applicability to TC39
  • develops methods, approaches, tools to aid understanding / designing / specifying the language (e.g., executable spec, spec formalisms, navigation within the spec, Proposal Management Tool, etc.)
  • considers TC39 within the larger ecosystem of programming language design, specification and standardization (e.g., cross-standards research, language drift, decision-making)
