Charter, changes in prefixes, and documentation

[Martin Duerst]

That works for me, too.

[I'm still not convinced that we fully understand the consequences
of removing the character mapping from the protocol, and that we
might just move from one set of (currently perceived) problems
to another set of (future) problems, but I think that this is
indeed fundamental to the current approach and that a recharter
would be appropriate if we come to the conclusion that it was a
bad idea.]

Regards,   Martin.
