In theory, or in practice. In practice, each version of the

Yes, I know the etymology (BTW, terms of direct Latin derivation>I'm far from sure but perhaps that's called "reinstatement"
(even if the feature hasn't been removed yet). Another
candidate for this would be strstream.
"Deprecate" already has a negative prefix; the opposite would be
precate, or perhaps since we're restoring a previous status,
reprecate. Don't look for those words in the dictionary,
however:-).
(The word actually derives directly from a Latin word, which
meant to pray against. [...])
tend to be almost homographs to the Italian ones; and usually
the Italian term is also the one used colloquially). But I was
thinking of ISO terminology. I guessed there was some companion
document to
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg9/isodir3.pdf>
with definitions of the basic terms. In fact I must have read
"reinstatement" in some ISO-related document somewhere. (Of
course, "precate" would mean "to pray (for)", which isn't what
the committee wants to express, either :-))
