true. but what we're missing is a collective memory of how we intended
data.code to work. It isn't used anywhere else except att.sourced, and 
I cant recall now why it is different to data.pointer. I think I remember there _was_
discussion about that, but I can't trace it.

Mr Occam would suggest that the correct course of action could be

  - remove data.code
  - change att.sourced to use data.pointer
  - change prose to say that @ed must point to something
