Deprecated features was not the best example to choose for my argument (but it's what started the thread). However, take a look at CP 3.3: "Use style sheets to control layout and presentation." Every user agent has a built-in stylesheet or presentation, so you could argue that the content always passes the checkpoint even if the developer fails process-wise. (WCAG 1.0's definition of style sheets says that they may be "built into user agents" [1].)
