I have created the page
code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/ObsoleteSyntax . Now let's fix up
those old pages to point to it.

Thinking about this a bit further, there are several "models" that we
could choose from, for adding navigation to historical pages,
including:
(*) The "errata" model, where the links are supplemental, perhaps with
a single link added to the navigation of all relevant pages or perhaps
simply linked from a landing page for the dictionary.
(*) The "footnote" model, where the links are appended to the bottom
of the page, perhaps with a heading such as "See Also" or "Updates" or
even "Footnotes".
(*) The "advertising" model, where the links are inserted into the
page, perhaps at a fixed position or perhaps using a rollover or
slide-in mechanism. (This one requires javascript and/or css -- but if
we only concern ourselves with popular recent browsers we might even
be able to throw everything into jdoc.css. For example.)
Other approaches are also possible but probably less desirable (such
as updating the "top jump" and/or "bottom jump" nav).
That said, ... right now this is all hypothetical, because we do not
have adequate documentation for obsolete syntax in nuvoc. And, the
structure and quality of that documentation should inform our approach
for tying it to the dictionary.
