	Oh; we really should bin the Embeddable piece, and we should not try to
do strange things to Embeddables - I believe I removed the embeddable
adaptor some time back; it should never have been there. It'd be good to
rid the query of that too.

	I'm skeptical of newfangled technology, and it's ongoing maintenance -
pwrt. Wikis. It'd be better IMHO to knock up a document in libbonobo/doc
that describes the known tags, and gives a nice example for people to
cut and paste I think.

	Interested ? :-)

	Thanks,
