a propos "the whatever works" principle, one important point to take in count:
a majority of user is using windows, and among this majority, a majority of installed java virtual machines are actually the old microsoft 1.1 vm.
and the only way to have an applet work in this context is to use the <applet> tag.
meanwhile, xhtml is only one way among others to code html...

I figure it out:
<object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codetype="application/java" width="500" height="500">
<param name="code" value="applet16"/>
<param name="archive" value="applet16.jar"/>
<param name="codebase" value="applets/applet16"/>
<!--[if !IE]> -->
<object classid="java:applet16.java" archive="applet16.jar" width="500" height="500">
<param name="codebase" value="applets/applet16"/>
</object>
<!-- <![endif]-->
</object>

kinda off topic, but any news on if microsoft VM will be updated any time soon, what with the end of the cold war? I'm using some stuff that requires Sun's VM 1.3 or so, and I'm including the "get it now" link, but it would be nice to retire that.

microsoft vm is dead, i mean: there won't be any future developments.
and if you try to add java with "windows update", it's likely that the service will block.
more than that: microsoft's plans are to slowly remove java from new operating systems (e.g. new versions of windows xp pro don't include java)
so, nowadays, java is still widely installed (thanks to microsoft), but it's going to change.
let's hope that sun's vm will get more popular (today, i think it's only in ~15% of the systems, partly due to the fact that the "user innoculation" tactic is not as smart as the one used with, say, flash)

one good piece of news is, last i heard, some OEMs (dell, hp, etc) had an agreement with sun to include their VM on fresh installs...dont know how its worked out so far.
also, if you use the full, crazy applet tag recommended by sun, it includes an activex tag that you specify that automatically updates the JVM to whatever version you need...its annoying for the user, but if you absolutely can't use anything below 1.2 or whatever, that is one solution.

My hot new Dell Inspiron 9100 (3.2 ghz, 1920x1200 screen - I love it) came with the Sun plugin preinstalled, to my surprise. There might be hope yet.
