The reason was that if we start to use NVDL, that the we then should be 
able to represent all validation constrains that we currently have in 
the conformance clauses or reference from there using NVDL or RNG.

The office:process-content attribute's behavior regarding validation 
cannot be defined using RNG and even not using NVDL. One can define in 
NVDL that the content of an element is unwrapped or validated based on 
the element's name, but not based on an attribute

We have moved the use of NVDL to ODF-next some time last year when we 
moved also other proposals to ODF-Next, but it seems to be reasonable to 
deprecate it anyway because it is clear already that some adaptation is 
required when we start to use NVDL.

Yes. The schema includes this restriction, but I have overseen to 
include that case into the generation of element content description.
