I assume this is discussing the object element. At the moment, I don't
see any reason why a browser should render a frame around an <object
type="text/plain">. The CSS specification includes the
height/width/overflow properties should a frame be wanted.

I think this problem would be better solved by having user agent
vendors handle objects that reference data types capable of being
handled natively by the browser do so in a fashion more consistent
with other HTML elements ... and not by adding attributes to HTML that
control presentation.
