(Separated from bug 5432)
Object elements with a name or id are accessible as special properties of the document object (document
['objectname'] or document['objectid']). To better match IE's behavior, an object element should be a 
document property only when it has no children other than param elements.

IE doesn't allow HTML comments inside the object and this patch allows them
(since they're not in the DOM tree).

Approximate IE's behavior

Looks good. I'd like to see one comment in
HTMLObjectElementImpl::updateDocNamedItem() saying that the rule is "<object>
elements with no children other than <param> elements and whitespace can be
found by name in a document, and other <object> elements cannot"

But the code looks perfect to me.
