The reason why @declare (for <object>) has been obsoleted has nothing to with the name.

And I agree that it could be useful to redefine @declare instead of inventing a new attribute. How would you define @declare to ensure that it did not become incompatible with "the Web"/HTML4? Are there any plug-ins/UAs/scripts that react to <object declare>? This is what HTML4 says about @declare: ]] When present, this boolean attribute makes the current OBJECT definition a declaration only. The object must be instantiated by a subsequent OBJECT definition referring to this declaration. [[ -- leif halvard silli
