That's exactly right (and it works, too).

That's also correct. Once your visitor has the ActiveX control
installed, the EMBED tag works exactly as it always has.
BUT:
It does no harm to use this every time; it's just some extra work.
A search engine can sometimes lead users to your internal pages,
bypassing any gateway; using OBJECT every time makes this
unimportant.
The OBJECT tag with CLASSID prevents hijacking on IE for Windows
every time, even if your Web server doesn't have its MIME types
configured correctly. That's a good thing.
