As far as I can tell, the current spec does not adequately define how
fallback behavior works. Specifically, what should be done with fallback
content when not falling back?
Presumably it should be parsed into the DOM, but should not render -
that's the de facto behavior.

Also,
<object id="movie" data="movie.ogg">
<object id="movie" data="movie.mov">
<object id="movie" data="movie.asf">
<p>Blah blah movie alternative text...</p>
</object>
</object>
</object>
If these things remain in the DOM, authors will presumably need to give
them all distinct "id" values.
Now if I want to access these things from script, such as to provide an
alternative player UI, I need to somehow determine which one is actually
being used in order to target it. If they're all in the DOM, I can't
just rely on getElementById returning null for the unused cases.
What's the solution in this case?
