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specifying the planned date at which it will be withdrawn.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deprecated and withdrawn since a given date, other than by scanning the 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>.
