The problem is that your particular technique doesn't work for at least |
| 16 |
konqueror. It's probably better to use <object> tags as advertised by the |
| 17 |
W3C. While it doesn't work with very old browsers like NS 4, it should |
| 18 |
work with all modern ones, and is the advertised way of doing things. |

No problem, the most important thing is that the website becomes |
| 30 |
"perfect". I don't mind that happening after the launch (as long as it |
| 31 |
doesn't suck), as long as it happens sometime. The current push is just |
| 32 |
because it is probably easier to do things right in the beginning than to |
| 33 |
fix it up after the fact. |
