Sorry. I am just a network consultant by trade (and Just Another Perl
Encode Hacker by accident :) and I know of these classical writing no
more than you do. I am just repeating what those who KNOW have told me.
If you can grok Japanese, you got to see 'Horagai' at
http://www.horagai.com/www/moji/moji000.htm
This is the most comprehensive page on Japanese encoding issues that I
know. The author of this page has also published a book called
'Denno-Shakai-No-Nihongo' (The Japanese Language in Computer Society;
ISBN4-16-660094-X) based upon these web pages.
