The benefit is correctness while not paying the memory cost of 16-bit strings. Another benefit is not having to copy strings coming from the parser, or going into any Rust library that's not entirely Servo-specific. Not requiring string copies between JS and the DOM would be nice, but sadly not feasible, regardless of encoding, due to SpiderMonkey's moving GC.
