There are no smarts about surrogate pairs in DOMString AFAIK. Its not an
issue internally because all of the chars that are special to XML are
non-surrogate values. But if you mess with any output from the parser or the
DOM, its up to you to do the right thing wrt surrogates.

That's great! I thought Xerces-C was UCS-2 only. So this means that
Unicode characters beyond the Base Plane are encoded as Surrogate Pairs.
What does this mean for DOMString and DOM_CharacterData, when offsets are
used to insert characters? Is the Surrogate Pair treated as a single
character? Or are all lengths and offsets in terms of 16-bit storage units,
not characters?
Thanks,
