However, there is also the need to embed text documents in webpages as well. For instance, a new document tag could be defined for this purpose: <document src="document.pdf" /> This would allow us to embed any document, such as eBooks, user manuals, research papers, etc., without needing to use plugins such as Adobe Acrobat. Just as there are many formats for images, audio, and video, there are also many formats for electronic documents, such as ePub, XPS, PS, TeX, but PDF (which became open source in 2008) is by far the most popular one. We should make the document tag an HTML5 standard so that PDF documents can be natively supported by browsers.
