Which behavior, exactly? There have been at least 4 different behaviors in Gecko for <embed> in the last year, and frankly I'd been considering special-casing some common classids the way webkit does and removing the latest layer of cruft we added to deal with compat issues (the "don't use the server type if there is a type attribute that's a supported plug-in type" business). I assume that we're talking about <object> here, by the way, not <embed>, since <embed> has no data attribute and doesn't use classid. -Boris
