Closing the loop:

I reached out to the IANA, and this was their reply:
"Hi Warren,

It makes sense to us to list "DEPRECATED" in the status column. When we're
asked to deprecate a codepoint, the label "deprecated" is usually added to
the registration in some way.

"-" is a bit of a cipher, and doesn't indicate that there's been a change.

thanks,

If the authors post a new version before the draft cut-off (Monday) with
this addressed I should be able to move it along.

Thank you all,
