Allowing plug-ins other than Flash to run in GE pop-up bubble

When GE first started support for Flash in the description field, other
installed plugins (eg. Windows Media Player) could similarly be used by
specifying the respective classid in the <object> tag. However, I could no
longer do that with the latest GE. Why restrict the types of plug-ins that
can be used? IMHO, the choice should be up to the developer.

Guess I could use an external link, though that's not acceptable for some
scenarios. Otherwise I'll just have to use older versions of GE if its not
possible :(

Full HTML/CSS is now supported in balloons as of Google Earth 5.0 (WebKit is 
used as
the rendering engine). Marked as fixed (unverified).

If this persists, please comment and I'll reopen.
