I agree that we should wait until a more solid decision emerges, but I
disagree over the obsolete element. If it sits around unused, it just
adds cruft to the file (be it a DTD, ebuild, eclass, etc) and could
serve to confuse people reading the source. At the least, a comment
should be added along the lines of, "This element was obsoleted as of
yyyy-mm-dd," so readers (maybe new devs, even) understand that it's
not meant to be used anymore.

Just my 2¢.
