Using <embed> (or <applet>) instead of or in addition to <object> isn't too harmful, doing it at all can be questionable. If some IE folks think that say security="restricted" helps with <iframe> let them check it out, and obviously they wouldn't be interested in "security is undefined" errors reflecting the state of the art for HTML 4. If they don't publish a DTD for it it's their fault. Frank -- http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/01/18/using-frames-more-securely.aspx
