I don't like that.  If I have one ptr why should I have to do 
notatedMusic/embed/ptr?  The semantics of ptr are that it points 
to another location, nothing more or less, if inside notatedMusic 
I decide to process this in one way or another is an arbitrary 
processing decision just like any other use of ptr.

I agree. If an <embed> element existed I would say that 
notatedMusic gets one of ptr/graphic/binaryObject OR embed.  But 
since we don't have embed...
