Back in the day I remember embed just plain old worked better across the
board in non-IE browsers. That may have changed (object offered better
fallbacks for one thing, and has been worked on a lot more lately, but
it also had other kinds of problems). Then we came up with this nested
object thing that has conditional comments, and duplicates of all the
params, and called that standards. Then HTML5 embraced tag soup again,
arbitrary tag names, and now even arbitrary attributes names, so using
embed with random attributes is actually standards compliant, but is
still considered "deprecated" whatever that means anymore. And embed
still works better and is less verbose, afaict.

That's one way of doing it, but the embed tag has been deprecated. Well,
maybe not officially deprecated, but it's considered obsolete.
