I've looked up some more information about the *idea* of this object tag 
in html: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html. You can read 
there that the <object>-tag was brought into html4.x because of "[img 
and applet] fail to solve the more general problem of how to include new 
and future media types." That's exactly the same idea to include a 
similar (but not equal, because not all the attributes will be 
necassary) <object>-tag in JEP038.
