We won't depricate it then. I was waiting for someone to step forward and say
they have implemented it.

But we need to know: have you implemented it in general, or more specifically,
have you implemented it as specified in the implementor agreement "Returning
diagnostics in an InitResponse"
http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html.

I am integrating that agreement into the revision and what I would like to do is
substitute the new format for Diag-1, as in the draft revised appendix 4,
available at http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/revision/parts/appx4.doc

I'm also planning on not including the definition of Diag-1 in the revision text
(it was included in Z39.50-1995).

So, taking these two steps would be far short of deprication.   Would that cause
any problems?
