[tei-council] TEI deprecation practices

[Kevin Hawkins]

Councilors (cc'ing Laurent),

I've been having some confused discussions with various people about 
deprecation practices for the Guidelines, and I realized that I was not 
even sure of our practice any more.  I've done lots of archeology in 
meeting minutes and in Sourceforge and have produced what I think is a 
summary of our deprecation practices, plus some questions:

Please review.

I hope once we sort this out, I will be able to move forward on 
http://purl.org/tei/bug/3376456 , and it might also help James with 
http://purl.org/tei/bug/3435326 .

By the way, I've added a link to the wiki page from a new question and 
answer I've just added to the Council FAQ:

Thanks,

Kevin
