unfortunately not as the SVG is in an EMBED element inside the IFRAME
- so it could be made to work there with some extra indirection, I
don't think there's any way to make it work with OBJECT in the above
scenario.

Attaching functions to the document would be a bad idea though I
think. In IE you can even make it actually impossible, and many less
common UAs have similar problems. (Notably the Java ones including the
Batik/IceBrowser CDF combination I believe, but haven't checked)

Cheers,

Jim.
