Licensed to EMBED

If this isn't absurd, I don't know what is... apparently, you will soon be able to <EMBED> an <OBJECT> in a web page only with a license for a "patented" technology.

Eolas suit may spark HTML changes. As anxiety builds throughout the Web over the patent threatening Microsoft's browser, the Web's leading standards group is considering modifying HTML to address the same threat. [CNET News.com - Front Door]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
