Yeah, they mention it on MA, but it is not discussed.

Do note, the mordhau is employed to fight guys in armor. The same is true for half-swording (if you do not consider mordhau as part of it).

If you are curious, this video briefly explains how the half-swording grip works; it also talks about the mordhau.
