It was obsolete at the time of publication. RFC 1815 was a rant by 
someone who thought that:

(a) Unicode was fatally broken for representing Japanese because of Han 
unification, unlike ISO-2022-JP which by definition was used only for 
Japanese; and

(b) display is everything, and all characters not represented by a glyph 
in a Windows NT 3.51 font from 1995 ought to be excluded from 
interchange.

Sounds to me a lot like the present campaign.
