Wouldn't something like this be enough?

    ::before, ::after {
        content: '' !important;
    }

You have no idea how many websites you would break:) I've seen UI strings in "before" and "after" pseudoelements...

Don't think it would be a huge loss. Most common use case is for unicode characters to render font icons (i.e. font-awesome).
