Dear HTML Working Group,

Please remove the requirement that the document be completed loading before 
a declare="declare" object can be executed:

i.e. with the following document:
<object
    declare="declare"
    id="earth.declaration"
    src="TheEarth.mpg"
    srctype="video/mpeg">
    The <strong>Earth</strong> as seen from space.
</object>
<em>...later in the document...</em>
<p>A neat <a href="#earth.declaration">animation of The Earth!</a></p>

The behaviour of the link should be consistent when activated and not depend 
on if the DOMLoad event having fired.

Regards,

Jim Ley
