Yes, ccp and #include are useful for now, but not a long term
solution. What if I want to include objects from other sites that don't
necessarily have control over or are updated frequently? Or I don't want
to recreate a tree of 100,000 documents simply because I've fixed a
typo on the copyright message?

Not "fool", "break".

See 1.

Exactly how it was originally supposed to work: <A REL="embed"
HREF="copyright.html">. And then along came <IMG> and the rest is history.
But I think you were suggesting something like
<a href="/copyright.html">Copyright</a>
which isn't quite there either.
