Youtube embedded links aren't valid XHTML

FYI, the embedded links that youtube provides aren’t valid xhtml.

Youtube: 
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" 
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpdCi5XpCsE">
</param><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpdCi5XpCsE" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" 
width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Valid:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" 
data="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpdCi5XpCsE"><param name="movie" 
 value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpdCi5XpCsE" /></object>

Thanks to hwa2u.com for posting the valid code.
