Yes, I have read it again, and it's badly written and my explanation is missing one point that both Lynne and you have expressed. 1 2 3 Old Spec -> Current Spec (-> Future Spec?) Feature -> Deprecated (-> Obsolete) SpecGL addresses the step 2. Deprecated means: a. that the feature is at risk for future versions -> obsolete b. that a better way of achieving the same thing exists, for instance. -> img, applet -> object -> center -> align="center" -> css: "text-align: center". (here it's another technology which is used to replace the feature). c. that it was a bad idea all together and there will not be any replacement for it. Lynne's definition is better. >> It is important to >> define the behavior of the different kind of products when they have >> to >> read or produce deprecated features. > > Either use "classes of products" or "implementations"; I think > introducing this new wording (kind of products) is going to be > confusing.
