I've removed the deprecated text from IAHypertext and IAText. I think
it still make sense to indicate IARelation is deprecated.

Yes, That was unintentional. I diffed the old and new IAccessible2 and
fixed the problems.

Back on 12 Feb 12 you said:
I feel a relation "fits" well enough here, but I don't feel strongly
enough about it to fight for it if others disagree. I'd pose the
question: what makes this so special as to justify a new method? Why is
it more special than, say, flowsTo or labelledBy? I guess it doesn't fit
relations entirely, as it isn't strictly "related" so much as state
information. If that argument is consensus, fair enough.
And I responded:
Thanks Jamie, It appears there is no strong preference by anyone for any
of the various options. Your observation about state vs relationship is
interesting and is enough to motivate me to choose a method over a relation.

Thanks Jamie, I fixed that.
