That is correct.   'Deprecated' means (in broad terms) 'use
discouraged, heading for obsolescence and removal, supported
replacement possibly available.'

	I think of depreciated as equivalent to devalued. I'm using 
deprecated as in the HTML specs. If you feel strongly, or if someone 
else thinks I'm off base, I'll change it back.

I'm not sure about depreciated vs. deprecated ... I've always thought in 
terms of features being depreciated, but maybe that's just me.  I'm not
trying to insult the old feature :-)

You've changed the meaning here ... these are used with (or in conjunction with)
the IfDefine block, but they don't literally appear there.

Thanks for all the great catches... I'm sort of amused that the -> seperators
that were in there even parsed at all on my browser... time to start banging
all my html changes against seamonkey as well :-/
