The range of objects that can be inlined isn't really part of the HTML
standard. Instead, its a question of accepted practise and what current
browsers actually support, e.g. inline JPEG is becoming more common.
To start with, I don't expect browsers to support more than IMG does
today, but its a matter for what people want (and are prepared to pay for).

Sneaky question, but no, they would be separate documents and as such
independent.
