In _Jhereg_, when Vlad is describing the Dragon-Jhereg war.  He says
that the Dragons sent an envoy to the Jhereg, and the Jhereg returned
said envoy with his head cut off...but, according to Vlad, "They hadn't
done anything to make him revivifiable."  Except that according to the
current canon, a decapitated body is *not* revivifiable.

(Paarfi also pretty strongly implies that revivification, like 
teleportation, was a process developed after the Interregnum.  This 
may well be an area where Vlad is displaying his ignorance.)
