Is it possible for a form to be posted to an object element, the same way that it can to an iframe (e.g. form target=”idOfIframe”)? In an attempt to keep this page XHTML-strict compliant, I would like to avoid iframe if possible.

No, it isn’t.
<object>elements are for embedding external media. They don’t support the interactive features of iframes.If you need the functionality of an iframe, then switch to Transitional (or the HTML 5 draft).
