Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

Another traditional issue with Japanese codecs is that people have different 
opinions on what the encoding should do. It may be that when we release the 
codec, somebody comes up and says that the codec is incorrect, and it should do 
something different for some code points, citing some other applications which 
he considers right. In particular for the Microsoft ones, people may claim that 
some version of Windows did things differently.

Now, for this set, the ones that got registered with IANA sound ok (in the 
sense that it is our bug if they fail to conform to the IANA spec, and IANA's 
fault if they fail to do what users expect). For the other ones, I wonder 
whether there is some official source that can be consulted for correctness.

On a different note: why do you claim that the code is written by Perky? (it's 
not you, is it?)
