XP> Incorrect example in Appendix B.3 of XHTML Print

[don at lexmark.com]

Jun:

The intent of this example was to show how an image can be declared inline
with the other XHTML while the actual data for the image may come later.
Neither of your two alternatives separate the delaration of the image from
the actual data of the image.  If the example provided is incorrect, can
you provide an example that achieves this separation?

Hello HTML editors,

Here is a comment to the last call draft for XHTML Print.

Jon Ferraiolo of SVG WG found out that the example in Appendix
B.3 looks strange since the two instances of 'object' element have
the sample value for 'id' attribute in a single XML document.

<object declare="declare"
     height="20 mm" width="20 mm"
     type="image/jpeg"
     id="image_1" >
</object>

. . . .

<object id="image_1"
     data="data:image/jpeg;base64,aGh67Fghsapa0Hji7dfGSweTa . . . ">
</object>

I believe the example is not correct. Also, I think the choice of this
particular example is not appropriate because we don't need to use
the case for 'object' element with 'declare' attributes in order to
show how we can include inline image data in XHTML-Print by using
data URI scheme.

I would like to suggest to replace this example by simpler ones such
as the following:

<object height="20 mm" width="20 mm" type="image/jpeg"
     data="data:image/jpeg;base64,aGh67Fghsapa0Hji7dfGSweTa . . . ">
     Example Image
</object>

or

<img height="20 mm" width="20 mm" alt="Example Image"
     src="data:image/jpeg;base64,aGh67Fghsapa0Hji7dfGSweTa . . . " />
