Having updated the XEP to use PEP instead of creating a new XEP (and 
deprecating the old one) does feel like a mistake to me, and something similar 
(I'd argue for "deprecated" instead of "historical") to this seems like a good 
idea. However, given that it's already been done, I'm not sure that it's worth 
going back and trying to clean it up in this way, that might introduce even 
more confusion. I could go either way on this at the moment.

This feels like it would just complicate the XEP and make it confusing to 
implement, at first glance I wouldn't want to do this.
