Message-ID: <20160015180637.eklhad@comcast.net> (raw)

Speaking of object tags, should I try to slide a minimal understanding
of object into 3.6.1?
Right now it completely disappears.

<body><object>hello world</object></body>

I would treat <object> just like <div>,
it looks like the tidy tree is doing same,
and then we would at least see what is inside.
That is the alternate text, and it's not ideal,
ideal would be parsing the attributes and launching plugins etc,
but as a quick and easy start it's better than nothing.
So you would at least see something like

Your browser does not have shockwave player installed,
click here to download the {swf file}.

So Chris should I slide this in or wait til after 3.6.1?
I don't have strong feelings either way,
but it would be nice if <object> was not completely lost,
as it is now.
