The hull-and-kernel version looks good to me!

My IANA charset request could be handled with a note on
the ref element such as:

 NOTE: Implementations may provide URLs to provide synthetic
 access to the platform's built-in character repertoire-checking code.
 Such tests may be platform dependent and non-portable.

In other words,
 * we don't need to mention IANA,
 * we don't need to define the URLs ourselves,
 * we don't need to require that implementations provide it,
 * we don't need to worry about whether the implementation is
faithful to the named standard, or whether the named standard
is precise, and
 * we don't need to suggest the algorthm.

I cannot see a down-side.
