Of course it does. Any text byte with its high order bit set is a 
"High ASCII" character. Unfortunately there isn't a single uniform 
standard text encoding for what those bytes represent. But that 
certainly doesn't mean they don't exits.

There are several text encodings that use ASCII in the lower 7 bits 
(lower 128 character slots) and other character encodings in the 
upper 128 character slots. It's prefectly reasonable to talk about 
these as a class of High ASCII text encodings.
