the current draft is up to date WRT to decisions made at Nov. meeting.

See 
http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-identifiers-and-identifier-names 
http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-reserved-words 

In summary, escapes can not be used to form identifiers that would otherwise be reserved and unicode escapes can not be used to reserved words.
