draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis-17 says in sec. 3.1.3:"Deprecated's field-body contains the date the record was deprecated.

"In some cases this value is before that of the associated 'Added' field in the registry.", since the ording of fields in 4645bis is not required.
In this passage, "before" refers to the dates themselves, not the order of fields within the record.
An example of this is: Type: language Subtag: in Description: Indonesian Added: 2005-10-16 Preferred-Value: id Deprecated: 1989-01-01 Suppress-Script: Latn In essence, the record was deprecated before birth. -- Doug Ewell * Thornton, Colorado, USA * RFC 4645 * UTN #14 http://www.ewellic.org http://www1.ietf.org/html.charters/ltru-charter.html http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages ˆ _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
