1: EMBED is not part of the 4.01 HTML standard but an old Netscape
element, OBJECT is the correct element

2: Again, if you look at the attributes, EMBED's SRC or OBJECT's DATA,
it is a URI to the resource *external* to the HTML document. Again, HTML
is just a plain text 'script', there is no embedded binary data.

3: If you want to have a single file document, HTML is *not* the right
choice, PDF, PowerPoint, Word DOC and such is what you want. Wrong tool
there Richard.
