OED lists as:
If "no longer in common use" or "for special purposes" doesn't mean incorrect in an entirely consensus-driven language, what does? It gives a motivating example of "obleege", for oblige, which I note my spell-checker has helpfully underlined in red.

Nothing about 'not common' or 'special purposes' implies 'incorrect'. There are many perfectly good words and phrases in English that are not commonly used or are only used for special purposes, but that in no way makes them incorrect.
