I also have to say that "Deprecated's" feels really ugly.

I can change it, but it would be purely editorial.

I strongly suggest that you do that, for every field.
The main reason is that this is something that the RFC
editor will probably pick up,

They didn't pick it up in RFC 4646.

and it's easier for us
to fix it now than to fix what they might mess up
(in German, there is the verb "verschlimmbessern",
meaning trying to make it better but making it worse;
that would apply here, but I don't know the English
equivalent).

There probably isn't one; there might be a verbal phrase that captures the intent inexactly, much as Spanish "cada quien con su locura" states explicitly what English "to each his own" only hints at. Such is the beauty of having multiple languages at one's disposal.
