object elements with inline data?

In HTML 4.01, there's a mechanism for including inline data in the data
attribute of the object element. 

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.1

I've noticed that the example object tag in the latest XHTML2 draft has dropped
this practice[1]. What replacements, if any, are being considered for this
method?
