Math objects are "valid" as well. You can also insert a Calc table on a 
Writer document, for example, in which case it will be an object. It is 
also possible to insert a "Writer object" into Draw.

Frames can be considered as objects in part because they can display the 
content of external documents: this is how master documents work.

A common feature of all objects is that when you try to manipulate their 
content the "parent" program will open: double click on an equation will 
open Math, double click on a Calc table inserted in Writer will open 
Calc and so on.
