I would like to point out that the terms "repertoire" and "character set" as
defined in Terminology section does not seem to be consistent with the usage
in W3C Character Model.
For example, the use of therm "character set" is discouraged in Section 3.6.2
of Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0

Unfortunately, the only normative materials to the definitions of Japanese
coded character sets (CCS) are Japanese national standards.

Also, I suggest to consult the following W3C Note for the detailed information
on some Japanese character encoding schemes (CES) and their mappings to
Unicode.
