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

[Syd Bauman]

You mean the tagdoc for <TEI> or <teiCorpus>? I guess so, but in that
case the constraint has to explicitly fire at the root, since we
wouldn't know which (<TEI> or <teiCorpus>) is the higest level
element.

Do we have a list of constructs that have been depricated so far?
