C1 says "A process shall interpret Unicode code values as 16-bit quantities."
"Code unit" is defined in definition D5 as a synonym for "code value".

I think that behavior is "MAY" rather than "SHOULD"; the actual verb used is
"does not preclude". Anyway, this does not mean that loose surrogates
*mean* anything, only that error recovery of some sort is not forbidden.
