This is a bit misleading. The real problem is the <embed> element, which
is not part of any official HTML specification.

Options:
a) ignore the validator's message, and check the syntax of your
   <embed> element against some description of actual browser
   support
b) replace the <embed> element by a suitable <object> element,
   and stay tuned to more limited browser support
c) define a DTD of your own that allows the <embed> element
   and its attributes
d) don't do Flash.
