Maybe what could happen is a new version could be put in the same place
with a revised Status Of This Document bit, which can be done by the
W3C staff, explaining the situation. The W3C staff is officially
responsible for the SOTD. If there is a consensus which includes the
original author and a newer document to point to that sounds like a
reasonable thing to do.

As the author of the above this is news to me!
Can anyone declare a W3C NOTE as deprecated?
I was always happy and open to update the W3C Note to changing
requirements....
Interestingly, it doesn't seem like this question has ever come up
before. If there were a Working Group with this in scope, it could
(following appropriate process) publish a new version at that same
location, but short of that, there's no handy solution. Harry and I
have talked about it, though, and will try to come up with something.
(Obviously it would depend on there being some kind of community
consensus on what to do about it, or at least approval from you and/or
your employer at the time (IPR Systems). They're no longer W3C
members;
do you know if they have any involvement in this area any more?)
