The keepers of the firewall here have explained to me that the firewall they
use does not offer any option to explicitly permit or disallow a specific
HTML tag or any further refinement. The firewall offers the choice to allow
or disallow ActiveX controls to come through the firewall. If they disallow
ActiveX controls, as they have, the firewall blocks all <EMBED> and <OBJECT>
tags. That means we cannot see the sections of pages that contain Flash,
Shockwave, or embedded RealPlayer. What we see is a blank space. If the
page author has not included the closing </EMBED> tag, the entire remainder
of the page is blank.
