What I know for sure is that: 1. Parsoid supports this syntax in both directions 2. I know quite a few users that have actively "corrected" this in the past I'm not sure what "deprecated" would mean exactly for wikitext, I don't remember any feature being deprecated before (perhaps the "Image" namespace, but it was never removed). IMHO, it would be very hard from a social POV to eradicate this (very useful) shortcut, although I do agree that for the sake of future tools we could "correct" it automatically.
