[SKOS] SKOS Core Vocabulary of 2005 - issues

The Jan 25 WD draft SKOS Reference [1] says: "This is
a substantial update to and replacement for the previous
SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification W3C Working Draft dated
2 November 2005." [2]

Two questions come to mind:

-- What is the status of the Deprecated Properties and Classes
   [3]?  Do we need to move these into the new SKOS Reference,
   or do we need to find some other way to document them?  Or is
   it enough to document them in [3]?

-- The 2005 specification says: "A formal representation of
   the SKOS Core Vocabulary is maintained in RDF/OWL"
   [4].  I assume we will need an RDF/OWL representation of
   SKOS Reference at some point; is that on the schedule?
   In the meantime, should the 2008 WD version acknowledge
   and clarify the status of the 2005 RDF/OWL representation?
   (And will the deprecated properties continue to be documented
   in the RDF/OWL representation?)
