Description
Similar to #877 #878 #879
**IFC4.3** docs for [IfcTendon](https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcTendon.htm) says that some attributes are deprecated and the respective attributes of [IfcTendonType](https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcTendonType.htm) shall be used instead. However, **IFC4** documentation for:
1. [IfcTendon](https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/schema/ifcstructuralelementsdomain/lexical/ifctendon.htm) says those attributes are deprecated (in the entity's change-log, but none of them have a deprecation note in attributes table). See figure 1
2. [IfcTendonType](https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/schema/ifcstructuralelementsdomain/lexical/ifctendontype.htm) has 3 attributes deprecated in the change-log, and none of them have a deprecation note in attributes table.
Two questions this time:
1. how many are the _IfcTendon_ that are deprecated? Only two (as per table) or all 7 (as per change-log)?
3. are the 3 attributes of _IfcTendonType_ deprecated by IFC4?
- if no, then no issue. IFC4 docs has a mistake, but IFC4.3 is correct. I'll close this issue
- if yes, then IFC4 docs has a mistake, but IFC4.3 requires fixes. The issue in this repo stands
