I've looked at http://philip.html5.org/data/object-with-id-or-name.xml.bz2 (don't open that in a browser) and noted the following:
* Most have just an embed nested in object.
* Some have nested objects. Many of those have one of the following nested in the inner object:
- "FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this)." or other copy-paste cruft
- "<a href=...><img alt="Get Adobe Flash player" src=...></a>"
- Actual alternative content (e.g. an image map)
* None of them had an <applet> nested in <object>.
* None of them had an <iframe> nested in <object>.
* A few have <form> (with id/name) nested in <object>.
In conclusion, I think the list should be just object and embed.
