We do have invalid.deprecated and invalid.illegal, where the former  
isn’t really invalid (but will look that way, unless the theme has a  
deprecated style).

As for “this is very important”, where does that fit into programming  
languages and/or markup languages? I mean, isn’t it very subjective  
what is the more important thing?

There are some naming conventions which show the intent of the  
current names in use:

You are of course welcome to suggest changes.
