Re: [charset] property

I think the character model document[1] section 3.6.1 provides some
guidance. It says avoid 'charset' and use 'character encoding' or 'character
encoding scheme'. However, it also says that if you are referring to
IANA-registered values you *can* use 'charset', so no help there at all
really :-)

I think I'd go for 'character encoding' personally...
