An [=Obsolete Recommendation|Obsolete=] or Superseded specification
has the same status as a [=W3C Recommendation=]
with regards to W3C Royalty-Free IPR Licenses granted under the Patent Policy.

Note: When a Technical Report which had previously been published as a [=Recommendation=]
is again published as a [=Recommendation=]
after following the necessary steps to <a href="#revised-rec">revise</a> it,
the latest version replaces the old one,
without the need to invoke the the steps of [[#rec-rescind]]:
it is the same document, updated.
Explicitly declaring a documented superseded, using the process documented in [[#rec-rescind]],
is intended for cases where a [=Recommendation=] is superseded by a separate [=Technical Report=]
(or a by a document managed outside of W3C).
