  It is shown that photoabsorption via autoionizing resonances may be
appreciable and used for abundance analysis. Analogous to spectral lines, the
`resonance oscillator strength' f_r may be defined and evaluated in terms of
the differential oscillator strength df/d(epsilon) that relates bound and
continuum absorption. X-ray photoabsorption in KLL (1s2s2p) resonances of O VI
is investigated using highly resolved relativistic photoionization cross
sections with fine structure. It is found that f_r is comparable to that for UV
dipole transition in O VI (2s - 2p) and the X-ray (1s^2 ^1S_0 - 1s2p ^1P^o_1)
transition in O VII. The dominant O VI(KLL) components lie at 22.05 and 21.87
Angstroms. These predicted absorption features should be detectable by the
Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) and the X-Ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM). The
combined UV/X-ray spectra of O VI/O VII should yield valuable information on
the ionization structure and abundances in sources such as the `warm absorber'
region of active galactic nuclei and the hot intergalactic medium. Some general
implications of resonant photoabsorption are addressed.
