It contains the FAT32 specification which also contains the FAT12/16
specification.

I don't know if it covers FAT16 sufficiently, but take a look at:

Implementing FAT12 or FAT16 is very easy. FAT32 is a little more difficult.
I have done FAT12 & FAT16 emulation from a driver under NT4 & 2K for media
that had a strange format. Much easier than writing a file system. Read
only is usually chosen because full write capability is much more difficult
and really requires a file system.
