Ouch!! > >This should be an explicit part of the HTML recommendation. Currently the HTML 4.0 PR states that "an embedded document does not inherit style information from the main document." [1] This is in line with HTML 4.0's use of OBJECT to include complete HTML documents rather than portions of HTML. What happens if the author does not want styles inherited into an included HTML document? If OBJECT allowed styles to inherit, there would be no way for an author to specify that the styles should not inherit. For this reason, I think we should maintain the distinction between OBJECT and server-side includes. OBJECT embeds completely independent documents while server-side includes embed portions of documents that are (mostly) dependent on their "parent" for determining the base URL and style.
