Afaik, the type attribute (or whatever its name may be) in this case 
means to indicate what types it accepts. So supposedly <object 
src="bla.html" type="image/*">fallback content</object> would result in 
the fallback content being shown, unless the server associates the .html 
extension with an image/ type.
