Per the current spec:
If the file.wmv is present, the first of the following plugins to be
supported:
1. clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6
2. clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95
3. clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921
4. The plugin that supports whatever the MIME type of the file.wmv is, if
it had a type and it wasn't "application/octet-stream".
5. The plugin for "video/x-ms-wmv".
6. no plugin.
If the file.wmv is absent, the first of the following plugins to be
supported:
1. clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6
2. clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95
3. clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921
4. no plugin.
The only difference between the two files is the data="" attribute on the
<object>s with classid="", but per spec, if there is a classid=""
attribute, the data="" attribute doesn't matter.
