The question is if `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' really should be 
declared obsolete.

From docu of `syntax-propertize-function':

"The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position
before END, but it should not call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache',
which means that it should not call `syntax-ppss' on some
position and later modify the buffer on some earlier position."

So "on any position" but not "on some position"?

IMHO that's not ready.
