At pag 3 of AdobeTech#5411 there is
the following text:

"codespacetange" definition , without exception, shall
 always be used:
1 begincodespacerange
<0000><FFFF>
endcodespacerange

See also
PDF 1.7 spec, at pag 472 sec 5.9.2 says:
"Additional guidance regarding the CMAP defined in this entry is provided
in Adobe Technical Note #5411, ToUnicode Mapping File Tutorial"

For what I understand: xpdf makes the only right thing to do.
And pdf is ok.
The other applications/viewer can do something else and wrong, and
maybe until  tomorrow
they go  unnoticed -- but this is not what we want for luatex & pdftex
, I presume .
