    Jun, et al:

    I have no problem including other ways to include in-line image data using the
    object and/or img elements. The issue the group needs to decide on is what is
    the compliance answer? Are all the possible methods acceptable? Should we
    identify one and only one that is required for compliance? Any discussion from
    others?

    I'll add a reference to RFC2397.

    Subject: XP> Inline image data

    The description of an alternate method to include inline image
    by using 'declare' attribute of 'object' element has been added
    to Appendix B of XHTML-Print 0.951 specification.

    I don't think this particular method is the only "conditionally
    mandatory" method to include inline image in XHTML-Print.
    What's wrong with the following methods?

    - 'object' element without 'declare' attribute
    <object width="20 mm" height="20 mm" type="image/jpeg"
         data="data:image/jpeg;base64,aGh67Fghsapa0Hji7dfGSweTa..."

    - 'img' element
    <img width="20 mm" height="20 mm"
         src="data:image/jpeg;base64,aGh67Fghsapa0Hji7dfGSweTa..."

    Also, I'd like to suggest to add a reference to RFC2397.

    "RFC2397 - The "data" URL scheme", L. Masinter.
    It is available from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt.
