References are adjusted so that all pages include a reference to charsets(7), which contains a description of these sets, stray comments are removed, some obsolete statements (like ISO 8859-1 being the de-facto ASCII replacement) are removed, and some minor reformatting to minimize diff's between the pages are done. The actual substance, the character tables, remain unchanged.
