Re: Deprecated.

I happen to work for a large company that regularly gets "beat up" in the media for not using the preferred forms of standards. Those doing the ranting usually don't care if there is a "good reason" or not for using the non-preferred form. They also aren't going to bother with minor details like reading the definition of a well-known term like "deprecated".

This is the point I was trying to make about our terminology, but maybe Shawn's real-world perspective will help lend it some more serious consideration.
