[whatwg] Test suite: Embedded content

Hi,

What about <img> only supporting raster images? If authors want vector 
images then they could use <object> instead.

Ok, fixed.

>(or 301-200) responses.

Interestingly enough though, Firefox 1.6a1 displays the PNG images from 
<embed> natively (not via a plugin). Further more, a "plugin" is probably UA 
dependent; some UAs require a plugin for a particular format while another 
UA supports it natively (e.g. IE has a plugin for MathML while Mozilla 
supports it natively).

How should <noembed> work? (If at all, I actually dislike all <no*> element 
types.)

>For <object> you want to show any type, and they

Ok.

>I doubt HTML5 will have <applet>.

Then I won't go though the hassle. :)

>BTW it is spelt "response".

Thanks. Fixed.
