           Summary: should object/@code be omitted from list of obsolete
                    attributes?

The "Non-conforming features" section of the spec lists "code on object
elements" as an obsolete attribute. But as far as I can tell, the code
attribute -- while widely used on the applet element -- was never valid on the
object element in any version of HTML and does not seem to be used in any
significant amount of existing Web content. See, for example,
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/mama-plug-ins/#object

So, I'm wondering whether  the  "code on object elements" line should be
removed from that section (so that, e.g., conformance-checker developers don't
feel any need to do any special reporting for that case).
