But that's just because of the current mozilla implementation, right?
There is nothing in the HTML specfication that forbids this useful
functionality is there? In the spec there is mention of object
controls being used to submit data. Would it work even if the object
was initialized via CLASSID or DATA?
This is similar to support for INPUT with a MIME type. Except I might
expect the object to work inline while the input would launch an
external application.
