User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.7

When adding a nested objects, the content documents always load regardless of if the containing object failed to load or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an <object/> using the DOM
2. Insert it below an existing <object/>
3. Note that the content is retrieved from the network
Actual Results:  
The object appeared in the DOM tree with the loaded content document below it.

Expected Results:  
The inner object should only load its contents if the containing object fails to load, i.e. the behavior should match the behavior if the tags had been created statically rather than dynamically.

I believe the behavior is consistent; the data is fetched in both cases....
