Is it possible to have HTML appearing above embedded Silverlight?

A:
Yes but you need to set the windowless param to true on the Silverlight object tag so that it can render behind other HTML objects.

Anthony is right - I've shown a code snippet here on my blog. You need to implement the in your object element and then use CSS Z-index.

More info about layering HTML elements on top of or underneath your Silverlight control here: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/02/15/using-windowless-silverlight-controls-to-blend-html-and-silverlight-elements.aspx
Note that there are performance impacts in using windowless and/or transparent controls since it requires more frequent redrawing, so it's not recommended for animation or video playback.
