A comment for ATAG editors, and others

2.1 [...]
Specifications that become W3C Recommendations after an
authoring tool's development cycles permit input are not considered
"available" in time.
* Ensure that the tool recognizes and preserves elements that
are defined in the relevant specification(s) even if it is unable to
render them. This is particularly important for WYSIWYG editing tools.

2.1 Use the latest versions of W3C Recommendations when they are
available and appropriate for a task. [Priority 2]
*******
I think that the a conforming authoring tool must absolutely preserve
the old version code, except if the user wants to modify it to a new
version. Are the two points contracditory?
