character sets: Term as OCTET STRING

I'm back in character sets...

I read on
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zig/meetings/oclc2002/charneg-4.html :

"When version 3 is negotiated, this definition pertains to the
interpretation of the ASN.1 type InternationalString in the ASN.1
definitions in Z39.50 (both in the APDUs and all external definitions in the
standard). (...)
When version 2 is negotiated, this definition pertains to the interpretation
of the Z39.50 ASN.1 type Term when it takes on the CHOICE of OCTET STRING."

Does this mean that the character set negotiation for Term as OCTET STRING
does not apply for Z39.50 version 3 ??
I don't remember that this has been decided. I hope this is a
misunderstanding. If not, I disagree.
