I forgot that there are special rules for html OBJECTs. It seem to me
that the HTML 4.01 spec means that any object inside a form is a
potentially a form control (17.2.1 object controls). The presence of
a name attribute would be enough indication that the object is
intended to be a control. An OBJECT is not allowed to be a target
frame.
