No, because <object> lacks the APIs that makes <video> useful, and because, as has already been explained countless times, any alternative content for video should be made available to everyone. Neither longdesc nor <object> fallback successfully meets that condition. The only reasonable solution is to include any alternative content or links to it elsewhere in the page, preferably nearby. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
