Regression in handling of OBJECT tag and name parameter in IE

As a follow-on bug for 6676489, some of the ESPRE Live video demo applets do not display their content properly when run inside of IE with the new Java Plug-In.

However, all indications at this point are that their applet is somewhat fragile, and that rather than trying to determine what slight differences in initialization or other behavior are causing their applet to break, we should work with them to make their applet more robust.

This bug tracks the issue from the Sun side in case there is a small and simple fix we can do to make their demo applets work in IE. Note that their demo applets run inside of Firefox, but sending them an addNotify / removeNotify event causes them to stop working, reinforcing the notion that they should work in a more robust fashion. Note also that a reasonable amount of tinkering has been tried with the new plug-in, so far unsuccessfully, to try to guess what the old IE plug-in was doing during applet initialization to make their applets run correctly.
ESPRE tracked down the difference in behavior between the old and the new plug-ins to a change in handling of the "name" parameter in conjunction with the OBJECT tag. Updated the synopsis.
