But in hindsight I can see some logic in what you say. In order to be acceptable to non escape-aware processes, any escape-identifier-sequence should at the very least not be defective (e.g. never a control character followed by a combining character), and I confess I didn't check that.

Of course, Jill's scheme uses non-private-use Unicode scalar values to achieve what is essentially a private-use function, so this is still non-conformant. (A similar scheme that only used code points from the Plane 0, Plane 15, and Plane 16 PUAs would be fine.) But I gather that Lars isn't too worried about being non-conformant, or we wouldn't be having this thread.
