Why does the (Editor's Draft 4 November 2011) spec not specifically allow the 'autoplay' element? It has been supported by most browsers for at least 10 years, and is specified on the <video> and <audio> elements, I'm not sure the following does the trick. "Any namespace-less attribute other than name<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/obsolete.html#attr-embed-name>, align<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/obsolete.html#attr-embed-align>, hspace<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/obsolete.html#attr-embed-hspace>, and vspace<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/obsolete.html#attr-embed-vspace>may be specified on the embed<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-embed-element.html#the-embed-element>element, so long as its name is XML-compatible<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/infrastructure.html#xml-compatible>and contains no characters in the range U+0041 to U+005A (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A to LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z). These attributes are then passed as parameters to the plugin<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/infrastructure.html#plugin> ." Have I missed some earlier discussion on this? Frank
