Publishing iPaper in B2evo

The NYTimes Online is using Scribd iPaper as an alternative to PDF.
I thought I would give it a spin using this No Embed B2 button...

... which validates using object tags...

Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:100%; height:500px;" data="http://documents.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=5813091&amp;access_key=key-xjjhpzx0g1cdihpmg52&amp;page=&amp;version=1&amp;auto_size=true&amp;viewMode="><param name="movie" value="http://documents.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=5813091&amp;access_key=key-xjjhpzx0g1cdihpmg52&amp;page=&amp;version=1&amp;auto_size=true&amp;viewMode=" /></object>

...instead of the default cut'n'paste embed tags.

Code:

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" id="doc_945927250001210" name="doc_945927250001210" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" align="middle"  height="500" width="100%"><param name="movie"  value="http://documents.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=5813091&access_key=key-xjjhpzx0g1cdihpmg52&page=&version=1&auto_size=true&viewMode="><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="play" value="true"><param name="loop" value="true"><param name="scale" value="showall"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="devicefont" value="false"><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"><param name="menu" value="true"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="salign" value=""><embed src="http://documents.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=5813091&access_key=key-xjjhpzx0g1cdihpmg52&page=&version=1&auto_size=true&viewMode=" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="opaque" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="doc_945927250001210_object" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle"  height="500" width="100%"></embed></object>

This hasn't been tested beyond FF3 on a Mac.
