Overloading one syntax structure (<object>) to support multiple complex mime-types is very tricky and it is one of the main reasons why HTML 5 has new elements for audio & video. (Of course this is also one of the most argued over parts of the HTML 5 spec but I've yet to see any proposal for fixing the gigantic mess that <object> has left us with.) -s _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
