'classid' is not required and should really be deprecated as one may 
see it is even dropped in the development of XHTML 2.0 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-object.html#s_objectmodule>.  I've 
ever wondered why would anyone be enabled to force me using specific 
plug-in for handling specific data type.

IE goes without 'classid' too but with some limitations.  You could 
read "Embedding Flash While Supporting Standards" 
<http://alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay>, for example.
