In general we deprecate things we want to get rid of later on.

I note that for some reason v2 and v3 have different descriptions of it. 
v2 says in 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-xml2rfc-latest.html#element.rfc.attribute.iprExtract>:

"Identifies a single section within the document (by its 'anchor' 
attribute) for which extraction "as-is" is explicitly allowed (this is 
only relevant for historic values of the "ipr" attribute)."
