I think it is important.
It could be useful. Open English WordNet uses dcterms:subject (with values like "noun.act" etc.), and with an attribute for lexicographer files no information would be lost if the value of dcterms:subject is changed.
I guess the simple solution here is to have a lexfile
attribute on the synset?
<Synset id="example-en-10161911-n" ili="i90287" partOfSpeech="n" lexfile="noun.example">
...
</Synset>

If we go with an attribute, then what you have looks good.
If we go with a separate file for #25, it seems like this could get the same treatment as they are similar (they're for backwards compatibility, the mapping is not likely to change, they're mainly relevant for PWN-derived resources, ...).
I think in this case people may add them still to new synsets (it has been on my todo list for a long time), so there is value in having them in the wordnet.
This is fine if merging is lossless.
Should we have an attribute for lexicographer files? Is this something that many (more than one) wordnet projects use?
