exactly, and as a core element with an entire top level section of the
1.0 and 1.1 specifications devoted to it and with no annotation to state
that it is not going to be around much longer it is reasonable to expect
that the reaction element will remain in the next version of the
specification.

To have the reaction element go from a significant core element in 1.0
and 1.1 to obsolete in 1.1.1 with no formal deprecation step just seems
wrong to me - maybe I'm the only one that sees any problems here?

While the reaction element is obviously one that we want to get rid of,
what kind of precedence are we setting for the evolution of CellML by
simply deleting it with nothing more formal than saying its about time
we tidied up that mess?


Andre.
