removing embedded object tags

Would there be any reason exitwp removes object tags? i.e. embedded flickr videos don't make it through the conversion process. They're removed. e.g.

isn't in the converted post

It seems to be html2fmt. It's passing the data (verified that it contains the object tags) to html2text_file which is stripping them out

[codebrane]

workaround is just to force html format in exitwp and get raw html in the jekyll output. Doing that preserves the object tags

Same goes for iframes. I can't get a handle on that html2text.py yet, it would be really nice to be able to preserve certain html tags.
