IE on Windows interprets the object tag and ignores the embed, 
Netscape and IE on the Mac interpret the embed tag and ignore the 
object tag.

Both are needed if the smil presentation is to be visible both in IE 
and Netscape on both Mac & Win.  (This mess is one of the better 
arguments for html standardization of which I'm aware.)
