<< The guidelines empahsize writing in valid HTML. >> Let's be realistic folks. EMBED is not "invalid HTML", it's a browser-specific tag, but that alone doesn't make it bad. At the Face2Face meetings in Peterborough, I pointed out that the guidelines also said "Don't use <BLINK> and <MARQUEE> because they are propriety." Well, that's not a good enough reason not to use them. The guidelines should focus on the accessibility aspects of things and that's all.
