This I-D uses the term 'deprecated' without defining it nor is the term
defined in "IANA Considerations" [RFC5226] " (It does however already
appear in the IANA Registry).
I am familiar with the SMI definition but that seems not quite right for
this context; some of the IANA uses of this have been there for decades
and are unlikely ever to be removed. I think that this I-D needs a
definition and, since I have seen disagreement on WG Lists as to what
the term means, I think that that definition should be agree on the ietf
list before this I-D is approved by the IESG.

The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to
consider
the following document:
- 'Early IANA Allocation of Standards Track Code Points'
<draft-cotton-rfc4020bis-01.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2013-09-24. Exceptionally, comments
may

sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the

Abstract
This memo describes the process for early allocation of code points
by IANA from registries for which "Specification Required", "RFC
Required", "IETF Review", or "Standards Action" policies apply.
This
process can be used to alleviate the problem where code point
allocation is needed to facilitate desired or required
implementation
and deployment experience prior to publication of an RFC that would
normally trigger code point allocation.
This document obsoletes RFC 4020.
