Hi Robert.

I'm sorry for being slow, but I don't understand what you're proposing
to do here (if anything). Could I ask you to explain, please?

Are you talking about allowing the six literal bytes "\u0000" to be
present in the JSON? If so, I agree, there seems to be no reason to
disallow it.

Are you also saying we should allow any "\uNNNN" sequence, without
checking for errors (e.g. invalid surrogate pairs or parts thereof)?

And what transcoding errors are you referring to?
