So, I guess it's safe to say that a surrogate code point is
a surrogate code point... which is a surrogate for a supplementary
code point, which is a code point between something and something
else.
Someone needs to take a break from the bureaucrateze and learn
again how to communicate clearly. Is that not a part of the
