(Whiteboard: [PL2:P4][Object][Hixie-P4]) 

This is from bug 678 which implemented document viewing with the OBJECT tag. The
problem is that once we create a plugin with an OBJECT (or maybe even EMBED)
tag, we can't later change the kind of plugin we use.

For example, change the TYPE= or DATA= attributes through the DOM and nothing
happens.
Marking dom1.  See also bug 40680 and bug 46569 for some other object-related 
issues...

is this still being planned for 1.0.1?  Some sites like to change the file to be
embedded via a select, and since we can't script say windows mp, this would
offer us a possibilty to circumvent that issue.

The current workaround for this is to remove the old node before attaching the
new one. Also see bug 192891.
