How is one to remember these classid values?  :-)  ...  :-{

This strikes me as unsound practice.  Why should content providers
have to deal with them?

Do such methods conform to W3C WAI guidelines?

In fact, why don't the <object> elements have mime type attributes
that enable a user to configure his/her platform according to
taste?
