With all due respect, such statements are hollow without an accompanying URL
to a valid page using <object> which you believe demonstrates this.

In other words, another (X)HTML specification is not what is needed.

On the contrary, as you point out, what is needed for (X)HTML is:

 * more/better public W3C tests
 * serious implementation reports

to which I would add:

 * errata and revisions that incorporate the errata.
