With an object > tag... hmm what about ALT tags and such like for accessability? Firstly, they're alt attributes not tags. Secondly, object is *more* accessible. the alt attribute was whacked on at the last minute to add acessibility, whereas object is designed for it. If a user agent doesn't support the content-type of the object, then it falls back by parsing it's children instead. Thus you can have multiple nested objects, and your alt text is replaced by what is inside the object tags. Thus you can also tags for its 'alternative' text, as well as all the other things that tag contents can do which attributes can't. > I do like the new HREF becoming part of the common attrributes .. but > again what about accessability on these?
