BTW, a bungo question while it's still fresh on your mind:

This may be my inexperience here, but looks to me that when an explicit subject immediately precedes a verb, the case marker is not just optional but in fact always omitted, at least in the Kokinshu era. I haven't seen this specifically articulated as a rule, though. However, when a direct object immediately precedes a transitive verb, the case marker seems to be more optional. (KKS 2:115, for example, has two direct objects right before the transitive verb, one with and one without its を.) Can you confirm this?
