[ML] Personally, the entries of both the registries can never be 
updated. As I said in my previous reply, unregistered doesn't mean 
removed/deprecated once registered but just not yet included in the 
registry.

[JS]  just not yet included in the registry" ... Do we mean here not including 
that unregistered entry on the RDAP server side (DNRs and RIRs)?

Neither I see a particular need for specifying in the registry that an 
entry gets obsolete. In that case, the property or the mapping will not 
be included in the reverse_search_properties or 
reverse_search_properties_mapping, respectively.

Hope I clarified my previous comment.

[JS] It might help to clarify further in the doc what "unregistered" means, 
using the above verbiage. But then it could just be me getting confused by that 
term. :) Your call in the end.
