I was thinking of fn:codepoints-to-string, but checking up, it says it
has to be legal characters, so u are tight - it is irrelevant.

But they do - as mapped characters are not subject to escaping, and so
d-o-e is in effect for them individually.

I was just saying that making u-c-m  on an xsl:value or xsl:text
like that would be equivalent to d-o-e (and therefore have the same
implementation).

No, I didn't mean that.
