Right. But the point is, U+0000 is a valid Unicode codepoint, the NULL.
It may be part of a Unicode string. It may be of limited use, but it is
a codepoint. Using a codepoint for termination is not the best idea.
U+FFFF is not a valid Unicode codepoint, it's not part of Unicode. It
may not be part of a Unicode string. So by definition, it can be used
for termination.
