I hope the rendering part is clarified. Firefox collapses the embed's

Yeah the rendering section is still to be written.
Here's how I would describe it:
If you have a plugin that supports loading a resource sent as a mime
type other than the mime type specified in the type attribute that loads
the plugin, using the data attribute may produce undesired results. In
this case, it's better to omit the data attribute and use the <param>
the plugin looks for to find what resource to load.
I'm sure you could turn that into something that reads better, but you
should get the point. Perhaps that belongs in an authoring guide though.
I don't really want to make the conformance of the document depend on the
user's configuration. :-) After all, the author doesn't know what plugins
are available.
O.K. cool.
I agree it might make sense in an authoring guide.
O.K. cool
Thanks
