In a way I guess that's nice, but it also seems confusing that given

data:text/html,<input type=text maxlength=1>

pasting in U+0041 U+030A would give a string that's longer than 1 from
JavaScript's perspective. I don't think there's any place in the
platform where we measure string length other than by number of code
units at the moment.
