No, what it means is that some tricks need to be used in order to get
consistent cross-browser rendering of flash as an <object>. Nothing
wrong
with using <object> for any kind of media (flash, quicktime, etc).
This is on par with box-model-hacks in that, in an ideal world where all
browsers behaved consistently the same, it would not be necessary...but
in
the real world, this is necessary, unless you want to revert to old
school
non-standard markup (or creating different version of a page/site for
different
browsers).

Just my interpretation, mind...
