OBJECT is a container, is it not? If you insert text/plain with OBJECT it
will be rendered within the container independent of the parent document,
not inline with surrounding content. I err in assuming uselessness, but if
the text is not parsed as normal content its usefulness is diminished.

If the text is embedded as true text/plain, then it is by definition
independent of the HTML markup. It is up to the UA as to how it should be
presented.
