I don't see any problems regarding the replacement of the node (i.e.
your first approach).

However, the embed element surely requires a PDF reader/renderer to be
available in the browser (e.g. the Adobe Acrobat plugin).  If that is
not available, the browser likely will render an empty space or maybe an
error message.  Perhaps it is reasonable to display a preview image
instead of the PDF document.
