Using <Object> tag to diplay svg document stops the display of following text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Browse a web page with the folling markup:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Some text before
<object data="an_SVG_file.svg" type="image/svg+xml" />
Some text after
</html>
Actual Results:  
The text "Some text before" and the svg image file dipslayed fine. The text
"Some text after" was missing. 

Expected Results:  
Displayed the text "Some text before"; then the image; and then the text "Some
text after"

A have put this in as a 'Normal' severity bug but I not so sure I should not
have classified it as a 'Critical' even thought the simple workaround is to use
<embed>.  It gives a very bad impression of what has been acheived so far in the
SVG project.  As a newbie to all this web stuff if this had been the first bug I
hit I probably would have probably ingnored the alpha as unusable for mere
mortals . Fortunatly I used <embed> fisrt.
Just had another look at this and tried
<object data="myGif.gif" type="image/gif" />
instead of 
<object data="mySVG.svg" type="image/svg+xmt" />
This also kills the display any text that follow it so it looks like I
attributed to bug to the wrong component but I'm not sure what component to
attribute it to now.  
Andrew, this is invalid. The 'object' element is not an empty element so you
need to close it explicitly with a closing </object> tag, not with a slash in
the opening tag. If you don't the object element isn't closed, and the content
that comes after is treated as alternative content (and since we recognise
image/svg+xml and image/gif it won't be rendered).
