<OBJECT>

I wrote to the head of the <OBJECT> group some time ago after reading the
spec (just before it was renamed) since I notice the seemingly arbitrary
ability to specify MIME types.

So I thought text/html would be valid - meaning the ability to embed one
HTML doc (liek a footer) in another - viola, client side includes.

He said there is certainly no reason that couldn't be done.  So I guess
we'll have to see how it gets implemented.

Dan, can you bring this up in the working group?
