I'm finding that nsPluginHostImpl::InstantiateEmbededPlugin() is only
called once when visiting this page.

In this example, each applet is specified as follows:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100  
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-
win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = XYZApp.class >
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME = model VALUE =models/water.xyz>
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3"  CODE = XYZApp.class WIDTH 
= 100 HEIGHT = 100 model = models/water.xyz  scriptable=false 
pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-
install.html"><NOEMBED></COMMENT>
alt="Your browser understands the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag but isn't running the 
applet, for some reason."
	Your browser is completely ignoring the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag!
</NOEMBED></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

The issue is that <COMMENT> and </COMMENT> is used to comment out the EMBED tag 
in IE. However, when Netscape 6 sees tags like this in a row, the parsing 
engine is confused, and it only parses the first OBJECT/EMBED tag. There is a 
workaround:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100  
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-
win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = XYZApp.class >
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME = model VALUE =models/water.xyz>
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3"  CODE = XYZApp.class WIDTH 
= 100 HEIGHT = 100 model = models/water.xyz  scriptable=false 
pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-
install.html"><NOEMBED>
alt="Your browser understands the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag but isn't running the 
applet, for some reason."
	Your browser is completely ignoring the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag!
</NOEMBED></EMBED>
</COMMENT>
</OBJECT>

By putting the </COMMENT> tag in the proper form, Netscape 6 will parse the 
tags properly and show all four applets.
