This is a bit of a sideways step here, but why not make tags reflect
MIME type,
e.g.
<image> image/*
<video> video/*
<application> application/*
<audio> audio/*
That way we have a clear identification of what is going to be in the
tag, API's can be tailored sufficiently for each one.
Each tag can have appropriate fallback also.
Just a thought, and it gets us out of the <object> hole.
What do you imagine "application" being used for?
The "application" type category is pretty-much just "miscellaneous".
