You can add a comment that the preferred compatible value is the new one, but the old ones still need to be handled by the drivers, and shouldn't be removed. That is, of course, if people are happy with the current binding and want to keep it instead of revising it before declaring it locked in.
The first -sp / -osc separation was bad idea from the start. It would be better if we could get rid of it. Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
