Re: [dita] HTML object element

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

I brought this up on the DITA-OT call today. Responses from Radu Coravu 
and Jarno Elovirta were that many folks use <object> to produce iframes, 
for which the new <audio> and <video> elements would not suffice.

Do we (shudder) want to consider redesigning the content model of <object>?

Best,
Kris
