Thanks Ian, and Tab,
The funny thing about that result is that it looks like it should work 
as expected.
<video> nor <source> is recognized so the <div> content appears. If 
the nested html is an <object> then most viable legacy browsers could 
fallback to something active, looks like?
No need to further nest an embed in there except for legacy legacy 
(legacy^2) browsers.
Best Regards,
Joe
