Last week I asked the following and haven't heard any comments about it:

!Then shouldn't the 'trouble:' attribute be marked as deprecated?

Perhaps I wasn't clear.  If the proposal is to change all current trouble 
attributes to either remarks or abuse-mailbox, then in the future, if we 
don't deprecate the trouble attribute, anyone can add a new role object 
with a trouble attribute, and it *won't* be converted.

So shouldn't trouble be deprecated?
