Incorrect is-a relation: hypochlorous acid metabolic process is-a organic acid metabolic process #22891

GO:0002148 hypochlorous acid metabolic process is-a GO:0006082 organic acid metabolic process

Above is-a relation seems to be incorrect as hypochlorous doesn't contain carbon.

A problem here, I think, is the assertion that an oxoacid is_a organic acid. Many oxoacids are purely inorganic molecules, so hypochlorous acid may well be an oxoacid but it's not an organic acid.

These 3 terms should be obsoleted:

GO:0002148 hypochlorous acid metabolic process GO:0002149 hypochlorous acid biosynthetic process GO:0002150 hypochlorous acid catabolic process

In fact this represents the product of the reaction: chloride + H+ + H2O2 = H2O + hypochlorous acid which is RHEA:28218 and EC:1.11.2.2 (neither are in GO).
