In the Archiving Set Tag Library, the suggested value "pii" on @pub-id-type includes the following:

A more generic “pii” defined as “publisher’s internal identifier” is used by some archives, for example, PubMed Central, to mark “any internal reference identifier that has been assigned by the publisher”.

PMC has ceased using "pii" in favor of "publisher-id".
Submitter Proposed Solution
I'm requesting:
1: The description of "pii" in the Archiving Tag Set be updated to match that used in both the Publishing and Article Authoring Tag Sets which just reads "Publisher Item Identifier."

2: The value be identified as deprecated in the documentation for all 3 Tag Sets

Unless the next change will be non-backward compatible, in which case I'd like to request that the value be removed from the enumerated lists in Publishing (article-id, pub-id) and Authoring (pub-id).
