Valid XHTML for Picasa Slideshow

This is the INVALID code to embed a Picasa slideshow on your web page (<embed> is invalid):

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf"
width="288" height="192"
flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fohlonecollegephotos%2Falbumid%2F5162154032057469201%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

And, here is the VALID XHTML equivalent for the same slideshow as referenced above (using the <object> tag):

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  data="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf"
  width="288" height="192">
  <param name="movie" value="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" />
  <param name="flashvars" value="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fohlonecollegephotos%2Falbumid%2F5162154032057469201%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" />
  <param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
