I went through the character encoding tutorial [1] and pulled out the following terms we could link to a glossary: User agent Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) Supplementary characters Character set Character encoding Coded character set Code points Character escape Document character set MIME type Standards mode Quirks mode XML declaration HTTP header Charset ASCII ANSI BOM NCR Character entity Compatability character Bidi Bidirectional text There are some explanations of these terms in the tutorial. We should also harmonise with other definitions, esp. CharMod and Unicode Standard. We should also point to stuff we have that defines in more detail, eg. Document character set FAQ. I'll send out more such lists when I get a chance to go through the lang tutorial and the techniques doc. Over to Tex and Andrew for now to take these to the next stage.
