No, the issue does not appear with FlashObject, because the javascript
effectively includes the flash with an (invalid, although working) EMBED
element, rather than a pure OBJECT. The source validates, as the invalid
markup is added client side. Some may call it cheating, or going against
the whole idea of the spec...but I'll leave *that* discussion for
another day...
