All of those would probably always be shown (like IE handles object
nowadays). Object does have semantic meaning, div has not, except that it
groups its children "somehow". A p with src attribute would still be a
paragraph, meaning that not all kind of possible sources were correct to
use.

Object includes "stuff" into the document and provides mechanisms to aid
doing this (several attributes and the param element).

Hey! I didn't notice that in the current draft caption is a valid child of
object, at least according to the minimal content model:

  (caption?,(PCDATA | Flow | param)*)
