In my opinion, the preferred outcome would be to make type= authoritative when specified, or provide an alternative way of ensuring specific routing of the retrieved content on markup level.
For what it's worth, I would be _very_ much in favor of having a way for markup to specify "render this <object> only if the Content-Type matches this type" (e.g. a boolean "forceStrictTypeMatch" attribute or whatever).
I don't think we could get away with making this the default behavior, but I do think it should be possible.
I don't think we should make it possible for the site embedding the <object> to completely override how the server wants it handled, though (even the limited amount of overriding we have now makes me pretty unhappy).
