There is, in CSS2, a way to do this:
(see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors )
OBJECT[type="image/png"] { background: transparent }
OBJECT[type="text/html"] { margin-left: 2em }
etc...
Also, for what its worth, my opinion on text/html inclusions is that
the default background should be the UA default, and not transparent,
but that it should be allowed to be set to transparent (which would
only make a difference in inclusions). I also think that client-side
includes would be a very good idea.. using something like a MIME type
of text/htmlfrag.
