They are both optional [1]. The question is can we find a compelling 
reasoning for maintaining both of them, and if so, how do they interact?

    <element name="Object" type="ds:ObjectType"/>
    <complexType name="ObjectType" mixed="true">
      <sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
      </sequence>
      <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
      <attribute name="MimeType" type="string" use="optional"/>
      <attribute name="Encoding" type="anyURI" use="optional"/>
    </complexType>
