I have a last comment on section 4 deprecation.
The document says:
"The special behavior of this prefix MUST no longer be supported in new implementations"
and later on it says:
"Existing implementations and deployments MAY continue to use this prefix."
I find those 2 statements a bit confusing. What about new deployments
using old implementations?
As I have pointed out in the past, the definition of a new vs old implementation
is a very fuzy concept, I think that this document should not over specify things here.
It would actually be much simpler and less confusing to say only "The special behavior of this prefix SHOULD no longer be supported" and nothing about existing deployments.
