[tei-council] VOTE ON DEPRECATION WORDING (was "Re: Next TEI-C Guidelines Release (presumably 2.6.0)")

[James Cummings]

I'd agree that the simplicity is good. As long as the Council

source code before the release which follows this date". Then I 
think having the definitive statement is better than being 
perfectly transparent.
