A specification which is in this state gets an attribute @validUntil
specifying the planned date at which it will be withdrawn. So one easy
way to make such a list would be by means of an Xpath such as
"document('http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/odd/p5subset.xml')//*[@validUntil]"
It's much less easy to find a list of things which have been both
deprecated and withdrawn since a given date, other than by scanning the
release notes since that date. The safest thing to do, if you just want
your ODD to go on working, is to tie it to a particular release date by
including a value for the @source attribute on its <schemaSpec>.
