For a non-validating UA, what's the difference between a well-formed fragment and a document? The fragment doesn't lend itself to backward compatibility. Alternate content of the object could be a link to a self-contained document's URL and nothing would be lost except convenience. Can you link to a critical fragment? What's the likely use for this inclusion of another document in an object, anyway? Unlike IFRAME, OBJECT can't be targeted. It really would be more interesting if it were possible to apply an alternate stylesheet as part of the OBJECT specification -- with a PARAM, perhaps? David Perrell
