Note that "embedding" is confusing, because embed is a Microsoft

If you are talking about object, this is not a subject for HTML
standardisation.  It might fall under the scope of CSS, as it is
really about what is the intrinsic height for a plain text file.

However, the reality is almost certainly that object was promoted
by IE as an implementation of the Microsoft OLE embedding concept,
and other browsers are forced, by the market, to emulate IE.
