"standard Netscape-style plugin"

From your link:
"Keep in mind that Netscape 6 has a different plug-in API from Netscape Communicator, so there could be some incompatibilities and problems. However, I have heard and witnessed success with Quicktime, Shockwave/Flash, RealPlayer, and others."

Sounds like Microsoft chose not to support the "different" or NEW plug-in API.
Since Mozilla and NS6 don't no longer support the old "standard Netscape-style plugin" why should IE?

Isn't the Object tag the standards way of doing this?
