Please send feedback on Character encoding tutorial

Chaps,

I have been updating, in a separate copy, the tutorial Character sets & encodings in XHTML, HTML and CSS, and would like feedback on it prior to sending for wide review. 

See http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/temp

I added a lot of material, eg. related to the BOM, normalization, etc., and I rearranged the material significantly.  The rearrangement was to downplay slightly the XHTML 1.0 issues, given that that is now only relevant to IE6, but also to help readers quickly find information they need for the format they are dealing with.

I also removed the distinction between XHTML 1.0 and XHTML 1.1 wrt MIME types, since the XHTML2 WG is hopefully very close to issuing a PER that enables XHTML 1.1 to be served as text/html.  I also added information about HTML5.

I also added in updates to sections that correspond to an faq article that has been updated.

Please let me know if there are topics I forgot to include, as well as commenting on the structure and editorial aspects.

Thanks,
RI
