Web-tapered members in AISC 2005

Web-tapered members in AISC 2005

(OP)
Does anyone know why the 2005 AISC spec has removed all references to web-tapered members?  

RE: Web-tapered members in AISC 2005

Because almost anybody who used web-tapered members just used their own home-grown methods instead of the provisions they put in the previous Specs AND because there will soon be a new comprehensive design guide on the subject (that looks little like the older tapered member stuff).
