Hi Jeff,

For various reasons, I use "XHTML 1.0 Strict" which is
a widely recognized and supported web standard. Practically
all browsers (even Microsoft's Internet Explorer) can
handle it. Because IE is very popular, I don't use certain
XHTML features that IE can NOT handle (yet?) though.

The idea is to keep the site compatible/usable with a
larger number of browsers currently in use. So that
most people can enjoy the site no matter the software
they may use to display/listen to texts, images, videos
etc.

Unfortunately, the <embed> tag is not included in XHTML
standard, I believe. And I really would like to avoid
non XHTML features.

Jeff, most of the time I use a Windows XP system on
which IE and realPlayer have been installed. This is
probably a relatively popular combination? When I
click on a mp3 sound document, realPlayer opens in
a (small) popup window and stays "minimized"
in the background. So I'm not distracted much.

Are other users "distracted by having their web
browser go to a new page to play audio"?
