It is my understanding that iCab [1] currently supports OBJECT [2], and, in addition to the implementations noted above, MacIE5 also has OBJECT support (as part of full HTML4 support) [3]. By my count that is four independent products/teams, with one shipping now (iCab), and another to be shipping within 1.5 months [4], and two more supposedly sometime this year.
