Speaking of Google Maps...

randomness...anyone know why maps.google.com doesn't cover China in the detail that ditu.google.com does? I don't think it's non-Western language support, because maps.google.com covers Japan the same way maps.google.co.jp does.
For example:
查看大图
View Larger Map
Maybe it's a data licensing thing? maps.google.com says its China map data is copyright AND and Europa Technologies, whereas ditu.google.com credits Mapabc.com.
Edit: The embedded maps show up just fine in Xjournal, but not when I look at my page.

So, I'm guessing the other person was correct and LiveJournal is stripping out certain HTML. I do think that they have an embed FAQ however, as I've seen embedded YouTube items, but I think it needs to be done in a special way.
