[XHTML 2] 24.1 archive attribute

Dear HTML Working Group,

In the archive attribute of the object element What does "preloaded" mean, 
please provide a normative definition of the term.

Does this preloading depend on if the object is successful or will the URIs 
always be "preloaded" regardless of the success of the element, i.e. even if 
the user agent cannot render the type application/x.chickens in the example 
below, the preload should still be loaded?

<object src="chickens" srctype="application/x.chickens" 
archive="http://example.com/" />

Regards,

Jim Ley
