Yes, it does appear that <object> would solve this problem. The <H1> vs.
<IMG> dilemma has been haunting me since day one, and I look forward to
kissin' it goodbye! This discussion is timely for me, as I am currently in
the process of changing all my title graphics such that the <H1> text I
used to have alongside the old graphics is removed, in favor of a single
multifunction graphics-bar across the top of the page. I really would like
search engines to index my pages as if the <H1> were really there...
