Björn,

From my point of view of a keyboard user, the object/embed option
is much more accessible. While I can't get out of the flash video
player by keyboard, at least I can get into the object/embed
option via keyboard (on Firefox, using mouseless browsing).

I've posted both options on a webpage if anyone else wants to
play with them live:

Does anybody know why it is one of the options allows for direct
keyboard access in Firefox and the other doesn't?
