17 Embedding Attributes - Invalid XHTML 2 documents

Dear HTML Working Group,

Is a non-well formed XHTML 2 document a success or a failure when 
considering embedding?

i.e.
<p src="chicken.xhtml"> Chickens! </p>

with chicken.xhtml containing a non-well formed XHTML 2 document?

Similar issues reside with all other content types that the user agent may 
render, however I appreciate these are not things to be specified by the 
XHTML Working Group, the cases for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1 and 1.1 and 2.0 are 
however within the domain of the Working Group so please include behaviour 
in these cases.

Regards,

Jim Ley.
