Thank you for the review!

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “tag”.

(ASIDE: I’m only marginally familiar with Sphinx, so I don’t know if “tag” has 
a specific meaning here.  I dabble across lots of markup-to-full-docs 
generation tools; Sphinx is just one that I happen to know the least.)

Are you saying that the source documentation would remain as-is, but something 
during the Sphinx _transformation_ would generate the new/deprecated tags?  

As long as those tags are clearly visible at-or-near the start, then I’m all 
for it.  If that is what you propose, then I can think of several possible ways 
to structure the generated HTML & CSS—and from there I would just need to dive 
into the Sphinx transformations and figure out where to sprinkle the “tags”.
