Re: [dita] HTML object element

If folks are finding it useful for creating iframes as it is, do we really need to re-design it, or should we just modify the arch. description to indicate a new purpose for the element?

I brought this up on the DITA-OT call today. Responses from Radu Coravu

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