Research direction

Search the mdn/data repository for `obsolete`, beginning with the linked pull-request discussion and the MDN guidance on experimental, deprecated, and obsolete features. Identify the data entries in scope and replace the applicable terminology with `deprecated`; done means the intended data no longer uses `obsolete`, consistent with mdn/content and mdn/browser-compat-data.
