Ouch, that is obtrusiveness at its best. Maybe Obtrusive 2.0 or something.
I'd simply use the class attribute for options, that is what its
intended for (yes, it's not only for styling things):
"The class attribute, on the other hand, assigns one or more class names
to an element; the element may be said to belong to these classes. A
class name may be shared by several element instances. The class
attribute has several roles in HTML:
* As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign style
information to a set of elements).
* For general purpose processing by user agents."

The code element is not supposed to hold script to be executed. There is
an element called script, that does that.
Or does anybody put his jQuery into a code element and eval it?
