Yes, if the object element has 'display: inline' and is thus a replaced
inline element within the h1 element's line box.  If the object element
is instead a block, the image is not indented.  However, if the text is
shown instead of the image, it would be indented since 'text-indent' is
inherited.  See [1].

Ditto.  See [2].
