There is no doubt that removing @declare will, according to HTML4, make the OBJECT render. Let me quote the first example from "13.3.4 Object declarations and instantiations" in full: [1] [[ <P><OBJECT declare id="earth.declaration" data="TheEarth.mpeg" type="application/mpeg"> The <STRONG>Earth</STRONG> as seen from space. </OBJECT> ...later in the document... <P>A neat <A href="#earth.declaration"> animation of The Earth!</A> [[ There should be no reason to doubt that the OBJECT in this example would render if @declare was removed.
