Ursprünglich war das object-Tag zum Anzeigen des Datums vorgesehen:

<object data="20050125">January 25</object>

Aber…

Unfortunately, to put it mildly, Safari’s <object> support sucks. It doesn’t handle <object> fallbacks, it doesn’t know when not to handle <object> mime types that it doesn’t support, it doesn’t support display:inline on <object>, and it doesn’t do proper intrinsic sizing of <object> replaced elements.

DANKE SAFARI!
