The problem with this and using OBJECT to include documents, is that

1. text/html is a full HTML document with title, sylesheet, etc. and is
not apporitate as a snippet of HTML

2. Includes like this do not become part of the documents GROVE and
becomes a serious handicap when trying to get it to work with current SGML
processor.

Entities do not have the above problem.
