But <object> doesn't work for embedding plug-ins into any current version of Netscape or Opera, so one must be cautious using it.

In the latest builds of Mozilla it half-works--the plug-in will load if it has been installed manually. An automatic download and installation scheme is supposedly also in the code, but as no plug-in vendors have yet built the new-style packages, it can't be tested completely quite yet.
