We have synonym types in OBO-Edit... just hang on! A beta-version will 
be out soon (of course, you won't be able to save your changes to the 
repository for a while after that, because everyone else will still be 
using DAG-Edit).

For now, I suggest you add a synonym dbxref to the OBO synonyms (like 
"syntype:obol"). Once we move to full-fledged synonym types, we can do a 
quick search-and-replace to change those dbxrefs into synonym category 
identifiers.
