Ok my example isn't quite the same, but it can be easily make the same. The
example should have read:
<object data="holiday.png" type="image/png">
<object data="holiday.gif" type="image/gif">
<p>An image of us on holiday.</p>
</object>
</object>
Now it is a paragraph. Or similarly a table in the table example.
