Embedded Object Specifications
The
span
elements within rich text may contain attributes that reference external plain-text or rich-text
objects. Such external references are resolved during the rendering process and the referenced data is
inserted at the point where the external reference appears.
See “Rich Text That Contains External Objects”
on page 191.

xfa:embed=”<SOM
