or US with any ensemble or composer i've been involved with
(and i've directed and recorded a lot of microtonal music...branca,

Please, that's the whole point of this.
"Half-flats and half-sharps are formed by adding eh and ih; ..."
... which sounds absoutely crazy to me and should instead read ...
"Quarter-flats and quarter-sharps are formed by adding eh and
ih; ..."
I agree; I've never encountered the term "half-flats". But maybe
it's a European thing? (or a poor translation from the
appropriate terms in Dutch or French or something?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidental_%28music%29
... which includes both terms in the caption towards the bottom of
the page.
To me this is an obvious error and I immediately want to know who's
behind the wiki article (as is, alas, so frequently the case on
wiki).
If you're really interested in tracking it down (and sending
insulting emails or something ;) you could check the history for
the page.
Have fun,
