Why ask me what other vendors will do with their proprietary formats 
(or their browser, in the case of Microsoft)?

And for some solution vendors, embed/object may be a preferred 
direction, and for some content owners, they may prefer to continue 
to use systems that use embed/object and require optional downloads 
for their clients, with the consequent uncertainty of support.  I 
hope that there are few in both categories, but I expect it will 
remain a viable option.
