Embed tags in RSS feeds

Hi there,

I noticed a while ago that displaying embedded swf's in RSS readers like Google Reader doesn't work currently. It didn't bothered me very much, but some of my users start to complain about this, so I did some research.

The problem is that Google strips object-tags for security reasons, but leaves embed-tags in-tact. Of course, SWF Tools does not produce embed-tags anymore in order to validate to Strict XHTML 1.0 (embed is deprecated in XHTML 1.0) on your page.

RSS on the other hand doesn't care about HTML-standards in its item-descriptions, so we could actually use embed-tags here. But another problem arises: where to hide the fallback-message then? (i.e.:"You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.")

Any suggestions?
