Obsolete attribute missing from list of attributes that control XML Serialization

[alundporchsoftware]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The System.Obsolete attribute has prevented serialization of fields and properties being serialized by the XMLSerializer since .NET 3.5 (see https://weblogs.asp.net/psteele/xml-serialization-and-the-obsolete-attribute). As of .net core 6 and presumably 7 and 8, this is still true of the XMLSerializer class.

I can't find this documented anywhere in the documentation for the XMLSerializer. This document seems like the logical place to mention the interaction with the Obsolete attribute.

I want to propose the following change: alundporchsoftware@dd992f6
