    <thetext>When the names &quot;Absent elements&quot; and &quot;Absent attributes&quot; were chosen, it made sense because at the time, if an element or attribute was not present in the draft, it was not necessarily the case that it was obsolete. It might just as well not had been added yet. However, now, all elements have been added, either as conforming, or as obsolete. So now these sections should use &quot;obsolete&quot; instead of &quot;absent&quot;.</thetext>
