Not pre-web per se, I think -- or rather thought --, but spec'd with 
non-web documents in mind. But Tom Phinney, who was there at the time I 
believe, says it was otherwise and that web use was in peoples' minds 
when the embedding bits were spec'd.

I hardly think it matters though, because the OT spec is not explicit 
one way or the other, and these bits have assumed meanings relative to 
non-web documents that do not translate easily to web parallels.

Yes.
