If it’s like the XML example, it should always represent a Unicode code point, and *not* be converted to the other character set, no?

At any rate, since the JSON standard requires UTF-8, such distinctions having to do with alternate encodings are not likely to be covered, so I suspect we can do whatever we want here. It’s outside the spec.
