The plugin will not render in Mozilla browsers with XHTML DTD and 100%
width/height. Take out the DTD (i.e. begin the page with <html>) and it works
fine, or change the width to 650, height to 450 (leave DTD as is) and it works fine.

Please note: my "custom" (XHTML conformant) object tag does not affect this bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin a document with XHTML DTD
2. Insert a plugin (I'm using Flash) using 100% width/height
3. Swap these out as described in details: either take out the XHTML DTD and
just enter <html> or use fixed width/height

Actual Results:  
The plugin will not render unless one of these two conditions is met.

Expected Results:  
Plugin should be rendered at 100% width, 100% height in a fully conformant XHTML
document.
In another example, (http://www.foliomedia.com/index3.htm), which uses a more
standard (though invalid) <object><embed></embed></object> method, I got Phoenix
(0.6) to render a small portion of the plugin incorrectly, (NS 7 still does not
render it at all).

This occurs with any DTD, not just XHTML. For example the page at http://www.3rd-wave.net/client/
blackbird/site2/ uses an HTML4.01 DTD and specifies the Flash player in percent, and the result is a 
miniscule Flash movie. Removing the DTD and/or specifying the Flash player in pixels are potential 
workarounds.
For the moment, in this new landscape of XHTML, the suggestion
of using CSS is currently the best way to fix the 100% percent
issue in the object height attribute when a full Flash web site
is desired.

<style type="text/css">
html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 100%; }
</style>
