It's not clear to me what the other implementers position is with reagrds to the

prefered way to specify the source url, 'data' attribute or SRC <param>?    And

also the side issue, do we need an 'onload' parameter if we use 'data' attribute.

 

From my testing i'm satisfied that we can make <object> 'data' work and that we

don't need an 'onload' param.
