This is a great improvement but I would like to, in the long term, make sure this is provide independent... i.e. documents on any website can be similarly embedded provided it adheres to some freely licensed standard. Google has learned from Microsoft some of the dirty tricks one may use to dominate other peoples' standards. We shouldn't freak out about it but should always have a mild resistance to "too many eggs in one (other person's) basket.

Just a not-so-humble-opinion of mine.
