    <thetext>There is one already. Just click the interface name, and if it links to the &quot;12.3.4 Other elements, attributes and APIs&quot; section, you know there&apos;s an obsolete bit to worry about. Generally though I don&apos;t want to raise the visibility of the obsolete section any more than that.</thetext>

    <thetext>That only works in the WHATWG single-page version, not the multipage version or the W3C version. Also, it is not particularly discoverable; an implementor working on a feature is likely to completely miss the obsolete section.

It doesn&apos;t necessarily have to be a link, it could be just

&lt;span class=impl&gt;/* There are further members to this interface defined in supplemental interfaces */&lt;/span&gt;

or something.</thetext>

    <thetext>Editing that would be a maintenance nightmare. I really don&apos;t want to go there. I don&apos;t buy that implementors are going to have that much trouble with this — in practice, most already have the obsolete section done, and the test suite will cover it, so new implementors will find out soon enough when they try to implement the spec.</thetext>
