unbind doesn not work at all with external objects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a page with svg images embedded using the <embed> tag. The svg links
in a JavaScript file. In that JS file I add hotlesy to a few objects,
including the parent document like so.

parent.$(parent.document).bind('keydown', 'Space', function (e) {
    // do stuff
});

I use parent.$ since jQuery was loaded by the main page.

This works fine. When the svg is unloaded I explicitly call

parent.$(parent.document).unbind('keydown', 'Space', function (e) {
    // do stuff???
});

However, the key (space) is still connected and tries to run "do stuff",
and throws all sorts of errors as it can no longer reference many objects.

Thanks,
a.
