[tei-council] "soft deprecation": use @status='deprecated' ?

[Martin Holmes]

One more thing just occurred to me:

Sebastian suggested using Schematron to warn when an element is 
deprecated, but that's probably not so good because it will annoy people 
still using it. However, we could use Schematron _after_ a deprecated 
element is finally deleted, to trap for its presence and explain that it 
was previously deprecated and is now gone. That would only hit people 
once, when they update their schema after the deletion, and it would 
provide a helpful explanation for a situation which might otherwise take 
them by surprise or puzzle them.

Cheers,
Martin
