They are, but they mean a completely different thing than what they mean
in XHP ;-)

<embed> in XHP is more like <object name="foo" type="text/html"
data="foo.inc"></object>.

Similarly <section> is more like a <div> with some associated css.

Again - I'm talking semantics; <object> is a general thing, and has no
semantics by itself, similarly <div>.  We'd lose this by converting to a
plain HTML.

All the best,
