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.
Thanks for the clarifications.
I think your conclusions might not be unanimous. In particular, I'd like
to hear Benoit's thoughts on
Would this be a good topic for 8th Sept (Stuart?)?
