> OBSOLETE is not used anywhere in this commit. Although HTML5 has some obsolete features, [JDK-8215577](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215577) didn't define them as valid features if my understanding is correct. So I chose not to allow obsolete features in order to avoid inconsistency.
For both `ElemKind` and `AttrKind` there only seem to be two kinds:
* valid
* previously valid
For these two cases, `OK` is obviously reasonable for `valid`, but `OBSOLETE` seems a better fit than `UNSUPPORTED`, but you could also use `HTML4` or `OLD_HTML4` or something like that to indicate why we're keeping the name around for better messages. Or, stay with `UNSUPPORTED` but add a doc comment explaining that it was previously supported but no longer supported
