Sorry, I don't want to disturb the inquiry so I change the topic so you 
don't feel you need to stand for my words.

The argument has been mad, in this recent discussion, that HTML5 has no 
means for deprecation of features. In the first longdesc poll, there 
were no alternatives to replace it with and thus, true deprecation was 
not possible. But if an alternative emerged, then HTML5 has some 
mechanisms for making features obsolete but conforming, as pointed out 
with in my message with the unlucky word 'deal'.[1]
