The evaluation of CharacterEscapes states:
"
The production RegExpUnicodeEscapeSequence :: u{ HexDigits } evaluates as follows:
Return the character whose code is the MV of HexDigits.
"
However, I couldn't find anything in the spec that prevents the MV from being out of range for a character, or explains what the semantics is in that case. I suppose it should be a syntax error?

Fixed in rev30 editor's draft
Added an annotation to the RegExp grammar that says it is a Syntax Error if the MV of HexDigits is too big.
