WebCGM Working Group, In section 3.4, an example is given on how to use the object element to include a WebCGM file in a HTML document. The type attribute in the object tag is written as follows. type="image/cgm;Version=4;ProfileId=WebCGM"; This is repeated in the example later in the section. I'm not sure about SGML, but XML only allows spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and linefeeds to delimit attributes in an element tag. Such a construct is invalid in a XHTML document. I'm not sure if the third semicolon is required in the type attribute value for WebCGM. If it is required, it of course needs to be inside the quotes to satisfy the XML requirement. I have not had the time to wade through the appropriate IANA and IETF documents to determine if it is required, but I suspect that it is not required. After all, one usually writes <object data="xxx.jpeg" type="image/jpeg" ... instead of <object data="xxx.jpeg" type="image/jpeg;" ...
