+<p>A <dfn export>storage endpoint</dfn> is a storage or session storage API that uses the
+infrastructure defined by this standard to keep track of its storage needs.
+
+<p>A <a>storage endpoint</a> has an <dfn for="storage endpoint">identifier</dfn>, which is a
+<a>storage identifier</a>.
+
+<p>A <a>storage endpoint</a> also has <dfn for="storage endpoint">types</dfn>, which is a
+<a for=/>set</a> of <a>storage types</a>.
+
+<p>A <dfn>storage identifier</dfn> is an <a for=/>ASCII string</a>.

It'd be good to state that, and either remove the ASCII requirement (since it becomes implicit) or state exactly how the character set and casing for these are determined.
