[XHTML 2] type attribute on the param element

Dear HTML Working Group,

24.2 defines something called a type attribute on a param element:

| type = ContentTypes
| This attribute specifies the content type of the resource designated by 
the src
| attribute. It is used to help the user agent decide whether it can process
| this element's contents.

given that the param element is not defined to have a src attribute, I 
cannot see what this attribute possibly does, please clarify, either by 
including the src attribute with an appropriate definition or removing the 
type attribute.

Regards,

Jim Ley
