    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2684?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=19221#action_19221 ] 

Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-2684:
-------------------------------------

Shouldn't we simply drop that

"Evaluators that support [UNICODE] shall consider any character in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) basic plane as one character, even if they occupy multiple bytes. (The BMP are the characters numbered 0 through 65535 inclusive). Evaluators should consider any character not in the BMP as one character as well."

altogether? We already say "Computes number of characters (not the number of bytes) in T."
If we define 3.2 Text as a sequence of [UNICODE] characters there's no ambiguity.

> The description of LEN states in the sematics section:
> "Evaluators that support [UNICODE] shall consider any character in the Basic
> Multilingual Plane (BMP) basic plane as one character, even if they occupy multiple bytes."
> The terms "basic plane" are repetitive.
