In HTML 4.01, <applet> is formally deprecated in favor of <object> (§13.4). The strict DTD only has <object>; both are present in the loose DTD. In XHTML 1.0, there is no editorializing on the subject. Both are absent from the strict DTD, and both are present in the transitional DTD. The prose is silent. In XHTML 1.1, <applet> is present and <object> is missing altogether. There is a module in XHTML modularization for each, but the XHTML 1.1 driver file chooses <applet> over <object>. Why? -Chris (Yes, I know last call is over. I don't typically use either of these elements, and only noticed the discrepancy today.) -- Christopher R.
