Comment
----------
Describes what glyphs are present in a font (for example of mobile phone)

Legal values
------------
well known values:
US-ASCII
GSM
ISO-8859-1
MES-1
MES-2
MES-3-fixed
WGL4
JIS208
or any URI to a character collection, for example:
http://www.wapforum.org/I18N/core-1.charcol
http://www.wapforum.org/I18N/jp-jp-1.charcol

(but should values also have versions/dates)


(I keep thinking - does the Unicode Consortium already have names for character repertoires?)
