A script could easily fake <video> element using dynamically created <object>. That's almost what SWFObject/QTObject scripts do now (and that's probably de-facto standard for embedding interactive content since Eolas patent). I think in that case <video> is safest solution, because this gives acces to alternative content (which is broken in IE6's <object>) and allows script-controlled plugin detection and workarounds for bugs in plugins/browser. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
