This will be my last mail on this topic as I've spent too long on it already.

RFC4395 states "Any scheme that is no longer in common use MAY be designated as historical". You're the one pushing for that optional action to be taken, not the authors of RFC4395 so you're the one that should justify why it is worthwhile taking that action.
