Apart from the fact that this would technically be a spec violation, it actually breaks some pages (because the ActiveX and NPAPI versions of some plug-ins expose different APIs), last I checked. >(IIRC, Opera on Mac and Mac IE 5 ignore the classid and dispatch on MIME.) Which fixes pages that don't use a fallback embed, but breaks some others. It's a tradeoff of which exact pages you want to work and how many of them there are... -Boris
