tkanai has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm:

== Not necessary to limit to East Asian characters ==
I'm afraid that the descriptions about "narrow vs. wide" in Fig.1 
might just help spreading misunderstanding.

Compatibility equivalence affects not only to East Asian characters, 
but also to any sets of full and half width characters. For instance, 
Full-width Lattin Capital Letter A (U+FF21) is equivalent to 'A' in 
ASCII area.

As the word "East Asian Width" is not defined in this document, I 
think replacing the word to "width variants" which is used in UAX#15 
would be more desirable. (and removing "of East Asian characters 
(often associated with legacy multibyte encodings)," as well.)
