It has never worked in Mozilla. The current plan is to fix it at some
point in the future, but not by 1.0.
The Mozilla engineers seem to really have their hands full at this
point, so who knows when this will get fixed. IFRAME is the workaround
at this point.
Best thing to do is either contribute a fix yourself (if you are thusly
skilled) or, failing that, just vote for the bug.
Based on the intrabug discussion, it appears there are some questions
about how documents embedded with OBJECT appear in the parent document's
DOM, so a DOM expert could help by contributing some learned commentary
on the subject.
