I was experimenting a bit with dynamically changing object data attribute, but it doesn't work as expected.
So here's an even simpler reduction:

<html>
<body onclick="changeUrl()">
<object style="width: 800px; height: 600px;" data="http://www.google.com"></object>
<script>
function changeUrl() { 
    document.getElementsByTagName("object")[0].setAttribute("data", "http://www.apple.com");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Google is still interactive and usable after clicking somewhere on the screen.
If i zoom in/out, it loads apple.com.

That also works when adding myObject.style.width = "801px"; just below the setAttribute call.

It's pretty obivous nothing happens, when looking at HTMLObjectElement::parseMappedAttribute, for dataAttr. In the example above isImageType() returns false, and nothing is done except updating m_url.
No relayout triggerd, nothing.
