------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I have found a logic error in the WYSIWYG to edit posts/pages with regard
 to the cleaning/parsing of HTML object tags. The error occurs in the
 handshake between the WYSIWYG javascript and the PHP as follows: I enter
 my HTML code for the video that I want to embed using the "HTML" view.
 Then when I switch to the "Visual" view, the WYSIWYG strips my code out
 and replaces it with it's own code. That's fine and dandy, however, when I
 save the post/page the PHP strips out some of the code that the WYSIWYG
 inserted, which make so that the embedded video doesn't work in Internet
 Explorer. This can be fixed by either preventing the WYSIWYG from
 cleaning/parsing the original code, or in preventing the PHP from
 stripping out the WYSIWYG code (probably the latter is the better
 solution). Specifically the PHP strips out the "clsid:" from the "classid"
 attribute in the object tag. I am attaching a text file with HTML snippets
 of the code I enter, the code the WYSIWYG cleans/parses, and the code that
 the PHP saves to the database. I have found a quick fix (not very elegant
 at all) by simply using a str_replace to re-insert (this can be done in
 the theme, or in the wp-includes/post-template.php file) the "clsid:"
 where necessary.
