"Charset" is a deprecated synonym for "encoding" (the mapping between
characters and octet sequences).  It's deprecated because it's easily
confused with a mathematical set of characters, which is called a
"character repertoire" in CharSpeak.

In this case, however, I think that compatibility with the xml-stylesheet
PI and the HTML A and LINK elements is more important, so I recommend
"charset" for xml-model.
