OK, but that is not "obsolete". It is intended as an extension to be
allowed sometime in the future on a "MUST accept, SHOULD NOT generate
yet" basis. So please can we rename it as 'extended-phrase' (which is
what I have currently put in Usefor).
I am not convinced this is worth it. It's explained perfectly well in
the text.
I believe that the complaint is not about the explanation, but rather
about the label,
which labels as "obs[olete]" something which has never been legal, and which
might at some point in the future be legalized. I.e., a different, more
accurately
descriptive label is being requested.
