This is supported in standard HTML by OBJECT. I found, to my pleasant surprise, that it actually worked in MSIE (I was using 5b2) when I inserted an HTML document encoded in one charset (koi8-r, say) into an HTML document encoded in a different charset (iso-8859-1, say). One aspect that I find to be a shortcoming is that one must define a height and width for the OBJECT, otherwise MSIE does not display it (or displays it at zero size, maybe - well, the perceived effect is the same). Having said that it works, I have to admit that I have no especial insights into the accessibility implications of using it. best regards
