Huh? Huh? I don't seem to recall stating a preference, just that in
my opinion you have one or the other, but it's hard to justify both.
So you are advocating the later approach then? dispose of the
<object> tag and just have
<img><video><sound><flash><script><to infinity and beyond> etc?

This topic is worrying me slightly, as I can only see two possible
outcomes :-
using <object> for everything,
images <object type="image/jpeg" data="some.jpg">
video <object type="application/ogg" data="video.ogg">
or defining separate tags for all possible content :-
<image>
<video>
<sound>
<etc...>
As I can't see how it can be a mix and match of the two approaches.

Huh? <script> isn't going away. <img> isn't going away. We've
already heard feedback that overloading <object> with new behaviours
is harder than providing specific elements for known use cases.
Solving specific problems is good. It's easier for implementors, and
it's easier for authors. Why continue to advocate for a general
approach that is both harder to implement and harder to author, when
we have a specific use case in hand?
