I agree that the Hittite signs are a relatively small subset of those used in Sumerian, Akkadian, etc., but the values so often differ that it seems to me that a separate listing of the Hittite usage is appropriate.
Compare the CJK signs: the Japanese -kun and -on readings are included in unihan along with the Chinese readings.
