The validator did exactly what you asked it to do. The problem is that
you didn't realize what you asked for. See

In future, don't forget to post the URL. This time, things are pretty
clear, by accident:

You're not telling us all the facts, are you? That's just one part of
the report, and the less relevant one.

In not studying what validation is before trying to validate.
If you use <embed>, the real problem is not validation. You could write
a DTD of your own, but why? The real problem is that <embed> is a
potential source of confusion, inaccessibility, and poor usability.
Whether this materializes has really nothing to do with validation.
