      <comment value="Within a registry, a given identifier should only be &quot;active&quot; for a single
       namespace at a time.  (Ideally, an identifier should only ever be associated with
       a single namespace across all time).

The nuance of identifier deprecation is not represented with a separate element.
       When a determination is made that an identifier should not be used, the validity
       period end date is updated with the date the identifier is deemed to be deprecated.
       The identifier should no longer be used once the period end date is reached."/>
