Interesting.  Are there any others?

Maybe 4156 (wais) & 4157 (prospero).  That's a bit special,
because it's a part of the effort to get rid of 1738.

I have heard that an effort to publish a particular obsolete
specification as Historic received strong pushback, with the
recommendation for publication as Informational.

If you have son-of-1036 in mind, "strong pushback" isn't how
I recall Henry's info - it was more like "lacking enthusiasm".
I can't check it at the moment.
