JIS has not endorsed the full Microsoft standard however.
The official C<Shift_JIS> includes only JIS X 0201 and JIS X 0208
subsets, while Microsoft has always been meaning C<Shift_JIS> to
-encode a wider character repertoire.
+encode a wider character repertoire, see C<IANA> registration for
+C<Windows-31J>.
I'd suggest a semicolon to introduce the last clause (or even a full
stop after "repertoire" to make it a separate sentence). It doesn't seem
to flow very well for me.
As a historical predecessor Microsoft's variant
probably has more rights for the name, albeit it may be objected
that Microsoft shouldn't have used JIS as part of the name
in the first place.

+Unabiguous name: C<CP932>. C<IANA> name (not used?): C<Windows-31J>.
Encode separately supports C<Shift_JIS> and C<cp932>.
Una*m*biguous name.
