I think we could do this reasonably well by providing two mappings for the
same sjis bytes:

sjis <-> A+A+ZWSP
sjis <- A+A

A longest-match conversion would get the desired results.

I believe there were more objections to the ZWSP approach though. I think
one was about losing the ZWSP in editing and copy-paste. (I didn't write
down details.)
