Almost... See below.

 >>> Even Adobe recommends using embed rather than the purist <object> tag.

Indeed, I have found the following page:
<http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html>
where Adobe says it desactivates scripting of SVG files included with 
<object> tag in Internet Explorer because of limitations on how IE 
manages plug-ins used with <object>. Note that scripting still works in 
Mozilla... Thank you Microsoft...

Well, I must admit that this alone is a good reason to use <embed>, alas.

But you can note that W3C doesn't even mention <embed> as a valid method 
of including SVG in an HTML page... 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/concepts.html#UsageOptions>.

It seems that if you are pragmatic, you have to make non-XHTML (HTML 
4.0) conformant pages in order to put SVG in a Web page. What a pity!

I suppose that's the broken implementation Jim was mentionning.

Note: <object> is not purist... It is just a legal tag against a 
proprietary one...
