Well as is often the case, skimming like that is not sufficient. Even the first solution that uses embed is included in the approach I was advocating. Scripting is another drawback that the table doesn't quickly visually illustrate (in yellow), so they're are issues important to authors that the table doesn't illustrate. However, those are the types of details I'm not sure if we need to concern ourselves with. I think whenever we can we should encourage the deployment of implementations that make this basic stuff very easy for authors to do without any add-ons (including scripting). However, I will admit that some of those scripting solutions are quite elegant, but the table doesn't show that scripting drawback for quick skimming. Take care, Rob
