Re: [Glossary] Deprecated, Deprecation, Deprecate / Obsolete

These definitions are proposition for the QA Glossary following this 
thread and the discussion on the QA WG Teleconference (12 July 2004).

* Deprecated feature
	An existing feature that has become outdated
	and is in the process of being phased out,
	usually in favor of a specified replacement.
	Deprecated features are no longer recommended
	for use and may cease to exist in future
	versions of the specification.

* Obsolete feature
	An existing or deprecated feature has ceased to
	exist and that is listed for historical purpose.


For the discussion on implications about the use of deprecated, 
obsolete. I will write a detailed email.
