Agree. Since Halfwidth Katakana is a special encoding scheme for Japan 
in Japanese computers system history, it is absolutely required that
someone
knows and uses associated legacy operating system that supports Halfwidth
Katakana.
But I think it still has a "jp" in that name, like ISO-2022-JP-HWKK, so
that someone like
me won't consider it as a mysterous mapping table at a first glance.
