I thought of using figure, but it currently requires legend to provide a caption, but in this case there is no caption. Even if figure were allowed to be used without legend, what would be the point? That would be no better than just adding an extraneous wrapper <div> around the object just to work around the content model restrictions. > I have no problems with images remaining inline only. I think all embedding elements, including img, should be allowed to be used in the same places. I consider it a mistake that HTML4 allows object to be used almost anywhere, but img only inline. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
