Where do you see this? Mshtml.idl from Windows 10 SDK doesn't use this 
notation, and in fact only fsrm*.idl files do, so it's not a common 
practice. Generated headers should use L"", like you said. But only in 
case of empty strings. Also leaving this broken for everything that's 
not PSDK compiler doesn't sound right.
