Current specifications don't do that.  I don't think that, for example, 
link rev=made was kept when it was replaced by the less hyperlink 
capable meta author.  Normally features have been dropped one 
specification after they were deprecated, but ones only implemented by 
minority browsers, like link rev=made, have been dropped without a 
deprecation stage.
