Deprecating what is non-essential facilitates adoption. You can't
facilitate that adoption if you wait until there is more adoption.
Rather than cycling around on a conceptual point, try considering the
specific reasons given to deprecate each of the tags and see if there
are counter-arguments for why the tag is actually really important.
For the sake of trying to find some compromise, can we do what we did with
the AUID/SDID debate and indicate which tags an implementation MUST
support and which ones it MAY support?
