Actually, it seems to me that SJ's suggestion makes sense. I can't see any 
reason why, for non-IE, the <param> elements must appear in both the outer 
<object> *and* the inner <object>. It seems that non-IE simply ignores the 
outer <object> (using the inner one instead) and so the outer one not having 
the duplicated <param>s would be irrelevant. But perhaps we're missing 
something that Bobby knows.

one set of params is for IE the other not - you need to replicate the params 
but not the movie one

generate you code and compare with the wiki examples

  Hi all,

  Was looking at the markup for static publishing and wondered why the
  docs suggest declaring the param elements twice?

  "NOTE: The nested-objects method requires a double object definition
  (the outer object targeting Internet Explorer and the inner object
  targeting all other browsers), so you need to define your object
  attributes and nested param elements twice."

  Are there issues in using just one set of params as shown below?

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  width="780" height="420">
     <!--[if !IE]>--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  data="myContent.swf" width="780" height="420"><!--<![endif]-->
     <param name="movie" value="myContent.swf" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
     <p>Alternative content</p>
     <!--[if !IE]>--></object><!--<![endif]-->
  </object>

  Cheers,

  SJ
