Re: [charmod-norm] Definition of "transcoder"

My point in including the parenthetical "(generally bytes)" is that 
"code units" is a term of art that I didn't want to pause to explain. 
People familiar with encodings will instantly grok what I mean. But 
those who are not may need some guide post. The use of the word 
"generally" was meant to indicate exactly what you outline--the bytes 
(and here I mean octets, really) are not always the code unit in 
question, even if that's true for the most familiar encodings.

I can drop the parenthetical, if you think it detracts from our 
purpose. Or I can explain code units. Thoughts?
