Hum ... no different for me though.  There is now an "embed"
element within the "object" - not sure if that was there
before. But anyway, this embed still seems to specify a windows
media player plugin, it still doesn't work on my ubuntu linux +
firefox, and, much more to the point, there are no other
fallbacks - specifically, no plain text content, and no link to a
transcript.  (And they have the gall to stick a "WAI-AAA" logo -
sic! - at the bottom: talk about debasing the currency...)

Best - Barry.
