XHTML 2 is going to get rid of the <img> tag, which I think is good. <object>[...]
it's practically impossible to use it for anything useful as long as your clients are using IE.
Alan,
XHTML 2 is not meant to be backwards compatible. As IE doesn't officially support XHTML 2 at all (as, to my knowledge, no browser does natively), this discussion is irrelevant, IMHO. XHTML 2 should not be sent to anything other than user agents which (will eventually) support it.
Any similarities between XHTML 2 and XHTML 1.x are purely coincidental, if you will.
