Embedding external HTML with the object element may only reference a full html document, not a code fragment. Don't confuse embedding another html document with something like server side inclusion. A xml parser must therefore parse an embedded html document as a separate document, if it is also an xml document then well formdness must be established by the parser independently from the document in which it is embedded. -- Spartanicus
