Cascading Objects in Amaya 4

Having recently joined this list, certainly to sing the praises of
Amaya 4.0, I looked in the archives for <object> support.

I found eg the following from  March 1999

"Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 18:44:16 -0400 (EDT)
From: Charles McCathieNevile <charles@w3.org>
To: Amaya List <www-amaya@w3.org>
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.9905031837200.22923-100000@tux.w3.org>
Subject: OBJECT

Supporting OBJECT would be very cool. At the moment there is no obvious way
to make a cascade of objects except by going to the structure view."
=============================================

Since Amaya, not being a "browser" does not support either
Java or plugins, but with it supporting  JPG images,  I
wondered how it might handle the following cascade of  Objects.
It should presumably display vib.jpg. In fact, although it clearly
attempts to display this image, the image area is blank (at
least when we try on Windows  2000)
Can anyone comment on whether my expectations are correct,
and whether this might be a bug or a feature?


       <object classid="java:RenderBasic.class" width="320"
        height="240" codetype="application/java"
        codebase="http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/chemime/tests/object/browsers/"
        archive="chemsymphony.lite.zip" standby="Loading Java"
        title="Object displayed using Java">
        <param name="model" value="models/codein.mol" />
            <object data="models/codein.mol"  type="chemical/x-mdl-molfile" width="320" height="240"
            title="object displayed using browser plugin">
            <param name="display3d" value="spacefill" />
            <param name="bgcolor" value="white" />
            <param name="rotationbars" value="true" />
                <object id="image" type="image/jpeg" data="vib.jpg" width="418"
                        height="325" title="Display using image only">
                Text displayed if neither object nor image can be displayed
                </object>
          </object>
        </object>
