Section 1 states:

   This specification provides informational documentation about the
   current use and definition of the X-Frame-Options HTTP header field.
   Given that the "X-" construction is deprecated [RFC6648], the X
   -Frame-Options header field will in the future be replaced by the
   Frame-Options directive in the Content Security Policy Version 1.1
   [CSP-1-1].

IMO, RFC 6648 does not necessitate deprecating the X-Frame-Options
header field in favor of the Frame-Options header field, since RFC
6648 is not retroactive. We might want to make the relationship
clearer here.
