                     The OBJECT element offers a mechanism for specifying
                     alternate object renderings. Each embedded OBJECT
                     declaration may specify alternate content types. If a
                     browser cannot render the outermost OBJECT, it tries to
                     render its contents, which may be another OBJECT element,
                     etc.
                     
                  </p>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     Objects that embed images should have corresponding
                     equivalent descriptions or images to allow users without
                     graphics-enabled browsers to still effectively navigate the
                     page.
                     
                  </p>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     The image description should convey the same information as
                     the image and it should explain the role the image plays on
                     the page: why it is there, what it represents, how it
                     presents the information.
