I guess it is completely useless. At least as a native speaker
have never heard of this!

Yes :-) Have just found it yesterday by accident, it is
ftp://dkuug.dk/cultreg/registrations/chreg.htm
just follow the roman8 link there
You shouldn't need that but the first column in that doc
seems to refer to one of the files in
ftp://dkuug.dk/cultreg/registrations/repertoiremap
directory
I have also studied the server via my ftp client
starting from
ftp://dkuug.dk/cultreg
Plenty of useful info, I wish I found something like this for CJK!
And yes,
