On the abbr-design-pattern page, markup rejections section [1] is the
following text:
OBJECT with param value. (requires significant extra markup and CSS
in order to *behave* correctly)
Can anyone provide more detail about this parenthetical rejection
explanation? I vaguely recall discussion about this, something
specific to Safari I think, but couldn't find it in the archive. I've
done some quick testing and <object>s seem to render cleanly as block
elements, as do <param>s. The latter surprised me, as I didn't expect
an empty <param> to render at all. Was that the problem with this
proposal or was it something else? I'm wondering if <object> and
<param> could be feasible in any context for semantic markup, or if
there's just a specific subset of contexts in which we've seen a
problem.
