I agree on this one. A long, long time ago ;) I had a long discussion 
(1) with Theo on JEP-0038 and we finally agreed that supporting the 
<object/>  tag would allow more flexible (future) usage instead of (in 
the case of JEP0038) <sound> and <graphic>.


Greetings,

(1) The arguments can be found on:

(long time not updated and I see that JEP0038 is already deferred, if I 
only had some time, I would revamp it...).
