obsoletes !=3D OBSOLETE, so no. That is, the meaning of the term =
'obsolete' is quite different in these two contexts.
The latter context the term is defined as follows:
The OBSOLETE field, if present, indicates the element is not active.
For user application attribute types, whether the type is active or not =
is, I think, best left to the schema administrator. (Update operations =
upon an inactive element is limited to removal of the element.)

I rather no element be specified in multiple files.
